Agenda of the evening :

19:30 - Doors Open

20:00 - 20:30 Kianja

Born in North-East London, Kianja was raised on a musical diet of Soul, Reggae and Jazz. Her obsession for songwriting and performing began at aged 12 before moving to Durban, South Africa for three years as a teenager. Embracing a new culture, her love affair with Jazz took hold and she began to hone her songwriting craft. A few years later she returned to London, where she attended the coveted Brit School, Tomorrow's Warriors and then Guildhall (where she studied Jazz), all alongside writing and producing her original material in her bedroom.

Her undeniable talent and hard work brought the young Londoner overwhelming critical support. Her debut EP ‘Glory’ led to support across BBC Radio 1, Rinse FM and 1Xtra and a feature with Bastille and Craig David on a cover of En Vogue’s, ‘Don’t Let Go’. Kianja’s independent releases (since 2023) have been featured on New Music Friday and several other Spotify playlists, as well as M&S and Body Shop national in store playlists. She has had BBC 1xtra and BBC Radio airplay several times throughout 2023 and 2024.

Her impeccable live performances also earned her a personal recommendation from Nile Rodgers to perform at Meltdown Festival at the London Southbank. She’s also performed at some of London’s premiere venues including Ronnie Scotts, Colors Hoxton and Royal Festival Hall.

20:30 - 20:45 Break

Rachel D’Arcy

Rachel D’Arcy is a powerhouse jazz vocalist and storyteller whose rich, velvet-soaked voice and magnetic stage presence have made her a standout star of the UK jazz scene. Dubbed “Soho’s Jazz IT Girl” by Hoxton Radio, Rachel blends classic glamour with a modern edge, drawing audiences into her evocative world of smoky cabarets, late-night soul, and playful Soho decadence.

From busking on the streets of Amsterdam to headlining some of London's most iconic venues, her journey has been anything but ordinary. She has collaborated with acclaimed acts including The Cinematic Orchestra and The Orb, and her original compositions have been featured on ITV’s Endeavour, where she appeared as the enchanting nightclub singer Miss Lila Pilgrim.

Rachel’s viral track My Soho, which has amassed over 1.5 million views across TikTok and Instagram, showcases her ability to craft immersive musical experiences that resonate both online and on stage. With a growing fanbase that includes Biig Piig, Boy George, and Jamie Campbell, she continues to captivate audiences with every performance.

Whether performing with a full band or weaving intimate ballads into candlelit cabarets, Rachel D’Arcy delivers a unique blend of nostalgia and bold innovation—solidifying her place as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary jazz.
