HERE'S AN INTIMATE IMPROMPTU LIVE PERFORMANCE OF MACHAN'S NEW SINGLE "MORE" (click the pic...)
Influences
Tom Jobim, Joao Gilberto, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Caetano Veloso, Astrud Gilberto, Beatles, Steely Dan, and countless other jazz and pop artists of this century.
In an era when music is often geared more towards tabloids than truth, it is refreshing to find an artist concerned with making honest artistic statements rather than fueling rumor mills. Such is the case with Machan, a singer whose exotic adult pop-meets-jazz sound and striking countenance are reinforced not by garish actions and flamboyant declarations, but rather by her own heartfelt songs and the sincere joy she receives from sharing those songs with others. It is that passion for performing and love of singing that led Machan to work as a background vocalist for artists such as Sting, Pink Floyd, Pat Benetar, George Benson, Gov't Mule and others, along with stints fronting the Glenn Miller Orch and the jazz ensemble Hiroshima. Recently finishing her 2nd solo project, Machan celebrates her new deal with NuGroove/Warlock Records and her new CD "Motion of Love" scheduled for release July 24th.
