"I breathe music; doing anything but music seems too much to ask. Getting up and doing music related things all day…now that sounds like a wicked career" Theresa Sokyrka

Theresa wrote her first musical composition at age four. Fast forward 19 years and Theresa is the winner of the C95 and CTV's "Saskatoon Idol" competition and was a final two for Canadian Idol before bowing out to Kalan Porter for the crown. Theresa began singing in church with the Saskatoon Ukrainian Orthodox Youth Choir. She has experimented in band Phagoo, Jazz band the Jeff Martin Trio and ensembles at Red Deer College. Theresa who plays the violin and guitar, says people would be surprised to find out that she is quite shy when not on stage.
