| About Katharina Heinrich |

singer/soulwriter/jazz vocalist/musician/composer/poet
a human concoction between sophisticated sensual jazz diva, tomboyish awkward & quirky Pippi Longstocking and wittily wordy intellectual, she never fails to move, amuse, shock and charm her audiences, wherever she performs. Her understated style betrays her powerful and passionate talent and surprises at second sight & sound, not at first. A singer impossible to forget and a poet to be reckoned with.
Although originally German, she mostly writes in English and her ..outsider..s.. approach to the language lends her expression an unusual and intriguing twist. With one of the tracks from her introspective first album ..Somebody.. she secured a permanent place in the jazz genre by being chosen to be featured on the jazz compilation album ..A Rey Jazz... Many successful performances & some life changing experiences later she turns out her second, more gregarious and upbeat Album, with a line up of some of Gloucestershire..s most wanted jazz wizards, Andy Nowak, Jeff Spencer, Matthew Jones and Steve Browning.
While BBC Radio Gloucestershire calls it ..a magical Album from juvenile beginning to older, wiser end.. leading papers in her hometown Munich praise her voice as ..kitsch free and refreshingly natural... A regular performer at many of Bristol..s favorite venues such as the Prom, Tantric Jazz and Mr. Wolff..s, she has build up a strong following and manages to fill art centers, café..s and have local pub regulars put down their pints and rants to listen in awe.
I have just finished recording her third album "come" with a yummy backing of some awesome musicians, who have since then formed their instrumental Gloucestershire based trio "Future Positive". Here a taste of three tracks of my new album... still looking to be signed...still looking for that gregorious and warm hearted manager to get me the gigs I am too lazy& introvert to get...so, hey , get in touch you producers, managers, labels, and of course anyone who loves jazz...
O.k.long time no see. It's August 2008, and I've just spent a month in NYC, where I have had some profound experiences and met some amazing artists, who revealed new styles and approaches and attitudes to me, that have enriched my life a LOT and inspire me no end! Among them is songwriter, guitarist, singer and soundengineer Flezadoza. We kind of recognised a mutual appreciation of soulful chords and songwriting in each others performances which eventually led us to collaborate on a piece I had just written. In only two one day sessions he managed to make this humble guitar track sound truly "awesome" as New Yorkers would say. Like all good & professional musicians and soundengineers, he has intuitive musicality and an eye and patience for detail, as well as the whole.
