Biography

Theresa Sokyrka httpsiytimgcomvi1BtVjQ5bOB8hqdefaultjpg

Born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Sokyrka studied music at Red Deer College in Red Deer, Alberta. She is drawn to the blues and jazz more than other musical genres, and sings with passion and vulnerability. She loves to scat, adding flare and style to her songs. During an Idol taping, Lionel Richie said there was "the soul of an old black woman living inside her". She comes from a very musical family, and she plays the violin, guitar, and piano.

Theresa attended the Holy Family Ukrainian bilingual elementary school in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She also attended St. Michael's elementary school in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. She attended high school at Holy Cross High School (Saskatoon). Sokyrka currently lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Canadian Idol

On the second season of Canadian Idol, Theresa Sokyrka was known for scatting during her songs, the grace she showed during the judges' critiques, and her friendly personality. Zack Werner once said she was his favourite singer on the show from the first two seasons. A memorable comment made about Sokyrka came from judge Jake Gold; he said "Your future is so bright, I've got to wear shades" as he put on his sunglasses. Kalan Porter said it was great ending the show with Theresa, and that she had something really special to offer. The duet they performed during the finale, "True Colors", was arguably one of the most touching moments in Canadian Idol history.

Songs that Theresa performed during the season included:

Her standout songs on the show were "Summertime", "Good Mother", "Song For A Winter's Night", "Cruisin", "Ready for Love", and "Come Away with Me".
