Georgia is just 21 years of age! Her retro jazz/swing style of music is of a vintage era yet fresh, hence the name of the band. Georgia hasn’t been on the music scene for long since performing live at the NEC Birmingham (UK) and gaining 2nd place ahead of 9000 other hopefuls in July 2015. Her solo and acoustic rendition of a re-written Rodgers & Hammerstein piece “My Favourite Things” during that final was awesome and inspiringly memorable.
She’s had airplay on BBC radio London Introducing, BBC Essex Introducing, BBC Radio 2 and many local BBC radio stations. She’s been on London Live TV & Vintage TV Christmas Sessions Show. She has two EPs on Spotify and iTunes. The first is a Jazz based EP titled ‘The Girl’. The second was a Ska tribute to the late Rico Rodriguez & features Neville Staple (The Specials). Her latest EP has been produced by Mo Pleasure (Earth Wind & Fire) and due for release in April.
