On the 6th day of the Olympics Whistler Live brought to me, Ali Milner live on stage.

I’ve seen Ali play a few times live on stage and have enjoyed many of her songs while at work. The first time I saw Ali live on stage was last year at the Whistler Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival live on stage with Animal Nation while playing at the base of Whistler mountain.

Ali is a singer songwriter who has a very contemporary rhythm blues jazzy style with her exciting on stage performances. During her shows she sings with her smooth voice while playing the piano along side her amazing drummer, guitarist and bassist. When Ali was 13 she sang for Prince Andrew of England who was hosting the North American Childrens Hospital Benefit at the BC place in Vancouver. Such an amazing feat for a singer at such a young age.

The Vancouver Childrens Choir was a source of a lot of Ali’s musical foundation while singing the lead voice in the Elite Cantata section. According to Pique Newsmagazine, “. . . the musician’s voice has developed, both literally and figuratively. She’s moved away from that pure, unadulterated jazz feel and developed her own distinct, poppy take on the traditional . . .”
