Melody Gardot

Melody Gardot is an American jazz singer and songwriter known for her emotive vocal style and sophisticated compositions. Her musical journey is marked by a life-changing event; after being involved in a serious car accident at the age of 19, Gardot took up music therapy as part of her recovery process. This led to the beginning of her career in music.

With a velvety voice and an eclectic mix of jazz, blues, and bossa nova, Gardot has become a highly regarded figure in contemporary jazz. She emerged on the music scene with her debut album "Worrisome Heart" in 2008, and gained further acclaim with her 2009 follow-up, "My One and Only Thrill". Over the years, Gardot has gravitated towards a lush, orchestral sound exemplified by her more recent works like "Sunset In The Blue" and its deluxe version. Her ability to sing in multiple languages has widened her appeal, and she frequently draws on multicultural influences, as seen in collaborations on the album "Entre eux deux (The Paris Sessions)". Known for her careful attention to detail and a relentless pursuit of authenticity in her music, Gardot continues to enchant audiences worldwide with her timeless sound and poignant songwriting.
