Amethyst is a true advocate for the resurgence of the UK Soul and Jazz scene. Not conforming to what's trending but sticking to her own lane, with proof in the reviews, radioplay and performances. Having grown up with a classical background, learning piano and violin and teaching herself guitar, clarinet and drums, she only discovered the world of jazz and soul when studying for her degree but hasn’t looked back since. With influences that spread from Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Donny Hathaway and Gregory Porter to Lianne La Havas, Yebba and Cleo Sol, Amethyst’s sound encompasses old school soul instrumentation, with soothing jazz vocals and lyrics that can resonate with any listener. With support from the likes of Jamz Supernova at 1XTRA, Victoria Jane at Radio 1 and Jamie Cullum at Radio 2 as well as backing from COLORS, GUAP, Dummy Mag, Crack Mag, Rinse FM, Foundation FM and Jazz FM, Amethyst is already making waves in the UK music scene.
