Jaz Sakpoba

Jazz is a talented singer based in London and Bristol, who has performed live across the UK from London to Brighton. With over 3 years of performance experience, Jazz is highly charismatic, versatile and entertaining, excelling in guest interaction and enjoyment above all! I specialise in genres such as RnB, Jazz, Swing and Soul, with a love for anything soulful! I am able to work as a solo singer, as well as with live piano or guitar accompaniment as a duo in order to fit your event perfectly, and am able to provide a PA system and all necessary setup myself. I grew up in a household characterised by music and the soul of the Motown era, always my father's favourite, which manifested itself in a love and admiration for the genre in myself. Similarly, with music always being big in my house, I've always loved staying up to date with the most recent pop and hip-hop songs, and always try my very best to do justice to these in my performances! I've been performing in choirs and music groups across the UK and globally since the age of 9, and first began performing solo in 2019, having been asked to perform live with a Swing Band in Brighton. Since then, I have been fortunate to perform the likes of Stevie Wonder, Etta James and the music of many many more of my favourite artists across the UK. So far, my biggest accomplishment was performing with a live band in the Brighton Royal Pavilion Theatre, which seats around 1000 guests. As much as I've always loved performing to a larger audience such as this, having also always been involved in musical theatre, which gave me my confidence on stage, through my experience I've found myself preferring more intimate events, where I feel as I'm performing for your guests, not just to them. The response of my audience and interaction with guests has always been of number one priority to me, and by performing at gigs in this way, I find I have the most fun performing, and my guests have the most fun listening! For my gigs and performances, I will arrive with full equipment myself and set myself up (normally need about 1 hour to 1.5 hours). I travel with the Bose L1 Pro16 PA system, and my own Shure microphone and mic stand, with all necessary cables and extras - all I would need from you is a space to set up and a place to plug it in! This PA system is able to project with expanded bandwidth and supreme clarity to audiences of up to around 130 people, perfect for small to medium clubs, bars, conference rooms and other similar venue types.
