“That Voice - extraordinary control and achingly beautiful” JAZZWISE

Winner of ‘UK Jazz Act Of The Year’ and ‘Vocalist of the Year’ at the 2022 Jazz FM awards, Georgia Cécile is at the helm of the new wave of UK jazz crossover artists.

Growing up in Glasgow’s vibrant jazz scene, Georgia's grandfather was a renowned jazz pianist and she studied piano first before training as a vocalist and graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a first class honours in popular music. Inspired by the likes of Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, Nancy Wilson, Aretha Franklin and Duke Ellington, the vocalist and songwriter’s debut album ‘Only The Lover Sings' co-written with her pianist Euan Stevenson, was “one of the most heralded albums of 2021” (Jazzwise) and topped the UK Official Charts -Jazz and Blues category.

Her sound has been described as having retro jazz, soul and r&b influences; particularly the girl groups of the 60s and 70s. She perfectly mixes classic songwriting with contemporary production and modern vitality - keeping storytelling and impeccable vocals at the forefront.

Following the release of her debut, Cécile supported Gregory Porter on tour, performed with the BBC Concert Orchestra and showcased at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

Championed by Jamie Cullum on BBC Radio 2, Cécile continues to make her mark as one of the finest new voices in the UK, with the Guardian naming her as one of six UK artists to watch this year. Her 2023 spring tour included sell-out shows at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Ronnie Scott’s London, Blue Note Milan, Duc De Lombards Paris and Birmingham Symphony Hall.

"Her voice is spectacular. A songwriting pair to watch out for." Jamie Cullum
