About Me

"... i never wanted to sing anything but jazz"

"I tried. But whether rock songs or arias in my (classical) vocal training years– only when I sing jazz am I in different spheres – and that’s what it must feel like for me. the only other music I sing with conviction is soul”

Mystéfy debut album 'SPARK WITHIN' is out NOW, released worldwide in summer (europe)/ autumn (north america) 2008. All song lyrics on the CD are written by Mystéfy, the music was written by Mystéfy and co-written by Roberto DiGioia, except for 'Lady Grinning Soul' (David Bowie) and the tune 'I Will' (a Dean Martin classic by Dick Glasser) - a duet featuring Jimmy Somerville (THE voice of The Communards/ Bronski Beat) as very special guest... so don't miss out on the SPARK WITHIN CD

Sounds Like: ©2008 Associated Press posted by Paul POP!, First Coast News - Mystefy's Spark Within
Taking a break from their usual slate of electronic releases, Compost Records have released the latest record from jazz vocalist Mystefy and it's a touch of class to their already impressive catalog. With a rich voice and a piano trio behind her, Mystefy manages to create a soulful jazz record on Spark Within that sounds as if Ella Fitzgerald sat in on the sessions and helped her record a few songs. It's nice laid back easy jazz that's the perfect soundtrack to a rainy day and that's never really a bad thing. With a guest appearance by legendary blue eyed soul singer, Jimmy Sommerville and a cover of David Bowie's, "Lady Grinning Soul," the album has the occasional glimmer of pop, but never crosses the line. Instead, Mystefy manages to work these elements into her laid back style and vocal approach. Spark Within is a nice record; it's a perfectly relaxed, orchestrated, and sung. Like the best Sergio Mendes record meeting Ella, this is a pleasant record that mixes lush arrangements with sensual vocals. Mystefy's deep voice is stirring and is a made up of equal parts of charm and musicianship and that's what makes Spark Within entertaining. While I'm not the biggest fan of vocal jazz, Mystefy's arrangements and songs are quite good and the fact that this is released on a predominantly electronic label is impressive simply because they were able to spot such an emerging talent.
