Theresa Sokyrka

Theresa Sokyrka (born April 1, 1981 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian singer-songwriter. On the second season of Canadian Idol, she was the final runner-up to winner Kalan Porter.

Biography

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.

Enemy

by: Theresa Sokyrka

I'm tripping downstairs because I feel the music coming.
To hear a laugh from you makes me feel like I am flowing.
I've placed a belief in myself that I've left behind quite quickly.
If you can't market me then I see you'll see the end of me.
The end of me is the enemy,
Yeah the enemy is gonna be the end of me.
Cause I'm crossing a road now and I feel my feet start to wander.
And all that I've learned now, seems to be too much to squander.
I've placed a belief in myself that I've left behind quite quickly.
If you can't market me then I see you'll see the end of me.
The end of me is the enemy,
Yeah the enemy is gonna be the end of me.
Cause I'm crossing a road now and I feel my feet start to wander.
And all that I've learned now, seems to be too much to squander.
I've placed a belief in myself that I've left behind quite quickly.
If you can't market me then I see you'll see the end of me.
The end of me is the enemy,
