Valmuz

Valmuz is a jazz / rock fusion group made up of three core members, Peter Connolly (guitars & vocals), Chris Attwell (bass & synths) and Victor Jiménez (sax & EWI).

The band is a display of the eclectic musical and compositional style of each member - Valmuz is more like the perfect meeting point, which counts on the regular collaboration of Joshua Wheatley (drums & keyboards) and Jamie Murray (drums). The group was the first prize winner at the Johnny Raducannu International Jazz Competition in 2019.

Their first album ‘Three Days’ was released in July 2020. Their second album ‘Sinergia’ (2021), a collaboration with the Sedajazz Big Band, won the best jazz album at the Carles Santos Awards 2021. Now the band is about to release their third album, 21st November, 2022.

Nnenna King

NNENNA KING has music deep in her blood, she is a 25 year old vocalist and Songwriter from East London, praised for having a soulful voice beyond her years. Raised in East Ham, Newham, KING spent her youth listening to the soul stirring sounds her parents and siblings would play around the house, from the likes of Fela Kuti, Miles Davis and Anita Baker to Queen and even Kanye west. KING started singing at the tender age of 6 years old and knew she wanted to be a singer, singing on the big stage. As her interest in music grew, her desire to become a singer grew even greater and began forming her own musical taste. Her mum played a big part in nurturing her gift by supporting her, financing the various music lessons and taking her around London to perform. In 2011 she gained a place at the prestigious BRIT SCHOOL for music and spent four year developing her craft.

Today, NNENNA KING’s music draws inspiration from the likes of Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Anita Baker, Amy Winehouse and Stevie Wonder. After showcasing her soulful vocals on The Voice UK 2021, her audition has racked up over 320,000 views on YouTube. NNENNA's music has been played on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Introducing. NNENNA KING is gearing up to support Omar at the Jazz Cafe in September.
