Since picking up the violin at age 3, Tania Elizabeth has explored many paths of violin music and blazed a few trails herself.
Having co-founded the critically acclaimed group The Duhks in 2001, and founder of her own independent label on which she released two solo albums in 1998, Tania has toured Canada, the U.S., China, Australia and Europe on a full-time basis for over 10 years and is a two-time Grammy nominee (one win) and a four-time Juno nominee (one win).
A veritable chameleon and seasoned professional, Tania is known for her ability to seamlessly traverse the many genres that make up the world of the violin: French Canadian, Métis, Celtic, Appalachian, Cajun, Country, Klezmer, Gypsy and Jazz.
An activist from an early age, Tania partnered with Save The Children Canada on her first cross-Canada tour at age 16, and is the founder of GreenDuhks, a think tank and promotional tool for Artists, Companies and Non-Profits with the ultimate goal of promoting sustainability and innovation through music and entertainment.

Tania is available as a fiddle instructor, studio musician, producer and sidewoman, and is currently working on a book on how to be healthy as a touring musician.
