ALICE ZAWADZKI

Alice Zawadzki is a vocalist, violinist, songwriter and composer based in London. Her work as a performer, collaborator, composer and speaker, has seen her gain considerable repute as “a genuine original” (The Guardian), and a distinctive and individual presence on the creative European music scene.

Her striking ability to perform across and transcend genres whilst retaining her own expressive and intelligent musical style, gives her a unique accessibility. Alice’s distinctive voice can be heard on numerous film and television scores, including Disney’s major motion picture African Cats, written by Nicholas Hooper, Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror (BBC)

Alice performs extensively as both a soloist and as a collaborator, with headline performances at the major UK alternative and jazz venues and festivals, including the Royal Albert Hall, Ronnie Scott’s, the London Jazz Festival and the Vortex.

“She is a genuine original with a pure, pealing voice that can darken into brooding low tones, and twist with flexibility and harmonic awareness…” – The Guardian 

“Displaying a similar otherness as some of our treasured pop eccentrics (Kate Bush, Bjork), Zawadzki comes from a jazzier place.” – MOJO Magazine

“Beguiling, unorthodox tunes and pure vocals” – The Independent

“Her lustrous vocal range is the real live deal, a commanding, intense performer” – Jazzwise Magazine 

“Beautiful, uncategorisable – a real force to be reckoned with” – Jamie Cullum
