Raised in the culturally layered town of Milton Keynes, and born to creatively-minded Ghanaian-British parents, Nectar’s world was always painted with the colours of possibility. “I feel like my parents wouldn’t be happy if I didn’t follow the creative path,” she laughs — but even with their full encouragement, the small-town hush around her often made dreaming out loud feel like a radical act. Nectar’s mother, a seamstress, encouraged expression from a young age, while her father’s Ghanaian heritage infused the household with rhythm, melody, and ancestral depth. Sundays were for church, where the harmonies of gospel choirs made a deep imprint. At home, Nectar was immersed in a rich soundscape — from Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu to Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway — artists who taught her that soul isn’t just a genre, but an emotion you feel deeply. That same emotional truth now pulses through her own music; earlier this year, Elton John likened her to none other than Nina Simone on his Apple Music show, Rocket Hour. ___________________________ ↪   / nectarwoode   ↪   / nectarwoode   ↪    / @nectarwoode   ↪ https://www.nectarwoo.de/ ___________________________ Band: Nectar Woode: Vocals, Guitar Amy Jaggs: Keys, Backing Vocals Alley Lloyd: Bass, Backing Vocals Jaleesa Gemerts: Drums, SPD Sound: Sound Supervision - Javier Weyler FOH Engineer- Dave Bartley Assistant Engineer - Jacob Blue Mix Engineer - Dave Bartley Video: Cinematography - Max Brill Camera operator - Ana Radtsenko Camera operator - Mason Scott Robinson Camera operator - Luke Oliver Editor and colourist - Max Brill Recorded live @ 5dB Canteen A 5dB Production
