BIEL,JULIA - Julia Biel (Sealed) (CD)

A voice of supreme subtlety and honeyed depth. Her mesmerizing voice and magnetic stage presence presence should encourage many to follow where she leads." – THE GUARDIAN Julia Biel is one of the most interesting singers of international jazz. With her unmistakable, electrifying voice, the Briton has been winning prizes worldwide since the release of her first album' Not Alone' in 2005 and has won numerous music stars from folk, pop and jazz among her fans:"I love her voice, I love her songs" praised no less than Jamie Cullum. She received the award "Perrier Jazz Vocalist of the Year" and was nominated for the BBC Jazz-Award and the MOBO (Music of Black Origin) as best Jazz-Act. Julia Biel is a multi-instrumentalist and plays piano or guitar on stage. Her parents - her father is from South Africa, her mother from Germany - had little musical influence on Julia. Rather, she adhered to her self-imposed musical models such as Neneh Cherry, Sade, Chaka Khan and Annie Lennox. I was particularly fascinated by musicians such as Nina Simone, Miles Davis and Billie Holiday, who were able to express their strong personalities artistically and at the same time, in their music, have always understood how to thematize their own vulnerability without fear.
