njb: Singer and songwriter based in London. Singing wherever and whenever because, quite simply, she loves it. The lady is becomming highly sought after as writer, arranger, collaborator as well as for her distinctive lead vocals and creative bvs as more and more producers are tapping into her diverse influences which mix Anita O'Day, Bessie Smith, Radiohead, Stevie Wonder, Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, and the original writing.
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------A rich highly nuanced voice able to suit many styles and compliment many voices. With a love of playing around with music, nancy has collaborated on electronica, ambient house, jazz, blues, folk, funk, soul and even african chants. In the story everytime but the story can change.
A performer first and foremost, the jazz songs you can hear were recorded live - the bluesy Black Coffee is from a fabulous gig with a ridiculously amazing band at RADA & the beautiful and heartfelt Come Rain and Come Shine and the funked up bossa version of Cole Porter's Love For Sale were recorded live in the renowned last stop for jazz musicians at the Edinburgh Jazz Festival, Henry's Jazz Bar. New tracks are being produced this year to show a voice that has changed and developed so much that on her last visit to the USA a reviewer sent a simple note to her during the break which simply read 'wow!'.
Although nancy has always been singing something as she wonders around life and the globe officially she has only been writing for the past 5 years (however, ask her and she is secretly sure she has not been alive for 5 years - where did the time go)
....Every now and then I am singing and I find out who I am. No other experience can even come close enough to measure up to it.--
