BIO

Performing an eclectic, atmospheric mélange of Americana, old soul, jazz & blues, Nicole Stromsoe's voice has been described as nourishing, sensual, and rich in quality. With clarity and presence, she shapes a distinctive experience for her listeners; expressed from a resounding source of emotional intelligence. Nicole is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music (Boston), and has studied the voice intensively for over 15 years.

Designing shapes and sounds both intangible and impermanent, she crafts not only the song itself, but its interpretation, breath, phrasing, space, and the placement of how it will land.

“I have a particular affinity for how music influences and defines environment; the environment within as well as the space surrounding ourselves.  It has the power to dictate both a very specific, and an overall experience, much like lighting.  I strive to create an atmosphere of warmth with a sense of suspension; the push/pull feeling of being weighted and lifted at once.”

QUOTES

“Nicole Stromsoe brings the same sort of experimentation and fresh interpretation to her jazz and blues music as, say, a Cassandra Wilson. The acoustic instrumentation provided by Dorian Michael (guitar), Ken Hustad (bass), and Dean Giles (drums) offers just the right touch to her evocative voice.”

—   Glen Starkey, New Times SLO

“A vocalist with a strong command of a wide variety of genres including jazz, blues and folk, Nicole Stromsoe effortlessly draws from her musical influences and presents her listeners with a sound and style that is soulful, authentic and uniquely her own.”

—   Graham Dechter, Jazz Guitarist

“Her voice is over the moon with stunning emotion, depth, range and timbre. Nicole gives me goosebumps when she sings. ”

—   Jacalyn Kreitzer, Vocologist & Mezzo-Soprano
