Performance Notes | Yots K is a striking Afro-Grecian jazz and swing vocalist whose vibrancy on stage is complimented by her Latin, African and American blues influences.
As an Afro-Grecian living in London, Yots K has a rich mix of influences to draw on - from the Greek rebetika, so close to the American blues, to Latin and African pulsations. She progressed from Elvis to admiring a range of early jazz singers and musicians, in particular Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughn, Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis.
Yots K's intriguing debut album "Fire and Water" is out now and perfectly captures her vibrant vocal swing with attitude, as appreciated in her live performances. |
