London-based artist Nicola Claudine’s signature sound is a rich blend of global influences and cinematic flair. Raised listening to vibrant Brazilian jazz and 20th century classical music, Nicola’s work defies genre by weaving together influences from soul, bossa nova, IDM, Turkpop, and more. The result is music with a rare quality: earworm melodies against a backdrop of complex harmony. As an accomplished pianist and saxophonist, Nicola combines live instrumentation with electronic production effects for a musical energy that is alive and hypnotic. Her style has been compared to Sade, Moonchild and Laura Misch.
