Faye Patton

Singer...Songwriter...Pianist...Multi-instrumentalist...Lyricist...Composer/Arranger...Tutor, Faye Patton is a mould-breaking performer whose music is difficult to categorise. She has a pioneering sound that owes much to the likes of Ray Charles, Junior Mance, Kate Bush and Rachelle Ferrell and her piano playing has attracted comparisons with Bill Evans and Horace Silver. She writes and sings intensely personal songs - lush, complex landscapes of love, loss, passion and inspiration....her rich, soul-inflected voice blending perfectly with her funky, groove-ridden command of the piano.

She is surely a formidable new talent with a wealth of original material that defies boundaries. Though equipped with a pretty extensive repertoire of jazz and popular standards and a piano bar playing history, she chooses to focus on her own original music and is so far entirely independent.

Her music has an urgency and dexterity that mark her out as a stand-alone, Artist par Excellence.
