In a live review Guardian UK writer John L Walters wrote "Range, power and style a soul jazz diva to watch out for." In short, she is like a female Hendrix vs Grace Jones with the musicality of Joan Armatrading meets Nina Simone. A born performer, to see Z* live is a deeply moving experience. She conducts the energy onstage and offstage effortlessly, it can be as still as a slow burning candle or as explosive as a Molotov. Always spontaneous her live shows are never the same, she's profoundly magical and very entertaining. With a soaring voice in a class of its own, her self-penned acoustic guitar anthems range from; the theatrical to wild fun-fuelled dance mash-ups to evocative evergreens, and are a testament to her understated musical genius. As a producer, she has a talent for creating deep hypnotic soundtracks that mix Soul Jazz Bossa Blues Roots n Rock into one unmistakable sound.

She has performed and collaborated with a wide range of artists including Max Sedgeley, George Benson, Gabin, Keziah Jones, Nigel Kennedy, Richie Havens, Soweto Kinch, Angelique Kidjo and Mauro Pagani. Music from her electro-soul duo SLOWTRAINSOUL has been featured on HIT US sitcoms, Ugly Betty, CSI, Six Foot Under & Californication.

"Charismatic, genuine creativity!" THE TIMES

"It's a question of intensity, Z* has a voice that goes straight to the stomach." MARIE CLAIRE
