Aivee Hsu’s velvety midrange voice melds the timeless elegance of classic jazz with the sunlit rhythms of bossa nova. An accomplished singing guitarist, her delicate nylon-string fingerwork intertwines with intimate phrasing and spirited improvisation to draw listeners into each unfolding narrative. Whether gently reinterpreting beloved standards or unveiling original compositions brimming with subtle emotion, she creates an immersive world of warmth, freedom, and melody.
A dynamic vocalist, guitarist, and composer, Aivee captivates with nuance and flair. Her warm, richly hued voice and laid-back grooves weave enchanting musical stories that feel like intimate, fireside jam sessions. As Reach Media observes, “Aivee’s velvety tone transports you straight to a cozy gathering—and in our books, she truly is the boss of bossa nova.”
During her time at Berklee College of Music—where she studied with Grammy-nominated vocalist Carrie Cheron and jazz guitarist Jane Miller—Aivee honed her artistry on stages across Asia, North America, and Europe.
She first attracted international attention with her debut album Blue Morning, a blend of jazz and bossa nova featuring collaborators from Brazil, the U.S., and Taiwan. Her sophomore release, But Beautiful, a studio album brings together her original songwriting and vocal approach—whether interpreting classic jazz standards or presenting original works—delivering emotional depth and refined musical expression throughout. Under Andy Jaffe’s professional guidance, the album’s musicality and emotional layers are fully realized.
The album’s success earned Aivee two honors at the Global Music Awards (Jazz; Female Vocalist), and in 2025 it received four recognitions at the InterContinental Music Awards (including Jazz, Asian Jazz & Crossover, and Best Vocalist). Continuing to receive international awards and nominations, the album highlights her presence on the global stage and the lasting impact of her work.
