Jace Fogleman is a singer based in Seattle with a bold, expressive voice that bridges tradition and modern sensibility. Rooted in a deep love and understanding of jazz, Jace has performed with big bands and intimate ensembles across the Pacific Northwest and beyond, delivering dynamic performances that honor the standards while pushing them forward. His approach blends rigorous technique, an expansive three-octave range, emotional honesty, and a fearless sense of improvisation — whether leading a smoky late-night set or collaborating on ambitious new arrangements. Committed to craft and connection, he brings theatrical presence, precise phrasing, and an adventurous spirit to every stage he steps on.

He began singing when he was three years old and entered formal training at the Acadiana Conservatory of Music at nine, where he developed fundamental technique that has allowed him to move freely between styles — from opera to jazz, swing, soul, and blues. He continued his studies as a vocal performance major, steadily deepening his craft. Growing up in South Louisiana, some of his earliest and fondest musical memories are of sitting with his grandfather and listening to big band records for hours on end; those formative moments seeded his enduring passion for jazz and big band tradition.

Upon relocating to Washington state in 2012, Jace quickly became an active and visible part of the local music scene, performing with MasterClass Big Band, Hot Club of Spokane, and other ensembles including the Spokane Jazz Orchestra. These collaborations opened exciting doors — notably opening for Tony Bennett with MasterClass — and led to recording multiple albums with different jazz ensembles. New to the Seattle music scene, Jace is actively pursuing the jazz and cabaret circuit both locally and beyond, most recently sharing the stage with Les DeMerle at the Amelia Island Jazz Festival and performing his show Lush Life: The Music of Billy Strayhorn — for which he was awarded a performance grant, which goes to an “..outstanding vocalist performing the Great American Songbook in a U.S. Cabaret.”
