Zoe Rahman
I'm a piano player and composer with British/Bengali heritage - my music's deeply rooted in jazz but I'm influenced by all kinds of music from around the globe. I've recorded six albums on my own label and have toured and recorded with a diverse range of other musicians, including Courtney Pine, Keziah Jones, George Mraz, Jerry Dammers, Seckou Keita, Martha Wainwright, Danny Thompson, Natasha Atlas among many others. I love creating new music and collaborating with others, not only musicians but also dancers, poets, artists, theatre companies. I was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in the UK for my second album, "Melting Pot", and won a MOBO Award for Best Jazz Act for my album "Kindred Spirits" in 2012.
