Cevanne is a bit different. Dont be fooled by her smiling face and careful driving, this girl is on a mission, and it involves anyone who will listen. Her tastes are as wide as a liquorice assortment and she believes that musical diversity is the way forward: Jazz, Armenian, Latin, UK folk, African, Asian and Western Classical traditions inspire her compositions. Her heroes are Steve Reich, Danny Elfman and Thelonius Monk.
Her mission extends to all of us. Living in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, has made her hate fish-and-chips and admire Benjamin Britten as a composer with a community at his heart. She recently enjoyed her residency with the London Mozart Players in Cambridge, where she be made music with a whole town.
If you are looking for a voice that could be heard on any R&B track then dont read any further. Cevanne has a voice that is all of her own and instantly recognisable. Her training comes from the world-renowned Jazz vocalist Tina May and the exciting Opera singer Susie Self, now performing at Covent Garden. Cevanne is always performing and has appeared all over the place, from the Edinburgh Fringe to the Royal Albert Hall.
She is lucky to work with many of her favourite people: Abram Wilson (through the Tomorrows Warriors programmes), Martin Hathaway, Jean Toussaint, and Trevor Tomkins (through the Guildhall School of Music and Drama Jazz programmes), and Jeffery Wilson, Michael Christie, and the PM Ensemble (as a composer at the Junior Guildhall). At Cambridge University, where she was awarded a first-class music degree, she sang and toured with the Fitz Swing Band, and worked with Sally Beamish, the Britten Sinfonia and James Macmillan. Cevanne was also lucky enough to take part as a composer and film director in the Britten Pears Young Artist Programme, New Music New Media, studying under Michel van der Aa and Sound Intermedia.Looking to the future, Cevanne is heading for London as a Trinity College of Music scholar, armed with a packet of liquorice. She aims for a sabbatical in America to seek out the sources of her inspiration. Most importantly, she is searching for more venues, more performances and more players to join her musical purpose and hopefully release some records while shes at it. Watch this space.
