Hello, I am Isadora Darling, a Lady of Jazz, Soul, Rhythm N Blues, & Rock N Roll!
I have been singing since i can remember, my father being a professional musician, I grew up with music as the central theme all my life. My love for singing means more to me than making a living, its my truest passion and I am whole heartedly dedicated to my craft. I live to sing and give the audience a performance they will never forget.
I have experience as a front-women in bands and am extremely versatile in singing any genre or style. My voice is very soulful, smoky, smooth and powerful, the most accurate i can explain my sound is a mix of Amy Winehouse & Billie Holiday. I am into Soul music big time especially Motown and Northern Soul, I take this inspiration to the stage with my vintage 50s look and Jazz singer in a juke joint persona. I don't limit myself to these genres as I also love to sing alternative music and am big into my indie/rock as-well. Aside covers I also create original music that has all these influences with an alternative twist. Songwriting is my other expertise, I am recording 2 original music projects at the moment and am always composing/writing when i'm not gigging. I study music production/ audio engineering on an academic level which helps when it comes to getting a good balanced Live sound at gigs and working with PA systems.
Here are some of the songs I sing in my current set
-St Louis Blues- Bessie Smith
-I was made to love her- Stevie Wonder
-Fever- Peggy Lee
-She's not There- The zombies
-All of me- Billie Holiday
I am currently gigging solo in Yorkshire so already have some connections, but now I am looking for a professional covers band to join or put together as the front women. I take performing seriously as its both my passion & my form of income, I am reliable, punctual, well rehearsed, easy going (no drama), and a dedicated band member. If your looking for a lead singer or are interested in forming a covers band that falls within these genres, please do get in touch!
