The award-winning British Neo-Jazz Singer-Songwriter, Ni Maxine, Hailed a ‘Black Woman at The Forefront of the UK Jazz Scene’ (Black Ballad), is sparking intergenerational conversations for change through song, exploring themes of home, identity, self-esteem & belonging.

Compared, by audience members, to Billie Holiday, Sade and Erykah Badu, her conscious & political lyricism and timeless vocals have taken her to the main stage at Liverpool’s Africa Oyé, Gilles Peterson’s ‘We Out Here’ & the EFG London Jazz Festival.

With a BBC Introducing ‘highlight’ live session under her belt, her Manchester Jazz Festival performance broadcast on BBC Radio 3’s J to Z and a live appearance on BBC Radio 4’s ‘Front Row’, Ni Maxine has carved a path for her ‘afro-centric and soulful’ sound.

Her award-winning debut single ‘Strange Love’, supported by tastemakers Jamie Cullum (The Jazz Show), YolanDa Brown (Jazz FM), Jamz Supernova and China Moses (Jazz FM), was played across Jazz FM, Radio 1, 1Xtra & Selector Radio (internationally) and subsequent singles have created anticipation for her debut EP, cementing Ni Maxine as one to watch in 2024.
