Amy Gadiaga

Presented by Fremantle Biennale and Walyalup Fremantle Arts CentreParis-born, London-based bassist, vocalist and composer Amy Gadiaga combines her prodigious bass playing and a voice brimming with power and emotion. With a fresh and unique style that bridges the old school jazz tradition of musicians such as Betty Carter and Wayne Shorter with the raw, rootsy modern sound of artists such as D’Angelo, Stevie Wonder and Twinkie Clark, Gadiaga’s breadth of ambition and revitalising approach have brought early critical acclaim and ardent fans Amy Gadiaga fuses jazz, neo-soul and RnB to explore themes of self-discovery, cultural pride and community. A graduate of Trinity Laban Conservatoire and alumna of Tomorrow’s Warriors, she first gained recognition with her 2022 debut single “Everything I Do”, featured on Jazz FM and BBC Radio 6. Her 2024 project All Black Everything stands as a vibrant statement of identity and collaboration, featuring an ensemble of emerging UK artists. Through songs like “Paloma Negra” and “Mali Swing”, Gadiaga celebrates her Malian roots, blending traditional jazz with soulful modern textures. Beyond performance, she is a vocal advocate for women in jazz, using her platform to mentor and inspire new voices. Gadiaga’s work redefines contemporary jazz as an evolving space for storytelling, empowerment and collective expression.Minors are permitted to attend licensed 18+ ticketed concerts at Fremantle Arts Centre if accompanied by a parent or LEGAL GUARDIAN AT LEAST 25 YEARS of age.Fremantle Arts Centre is an entirely outdoor venue.Click here for concert information.
