Her latest single releases from an EP project set to release later this year, have already garnered radio play from BBC Radio, Jazz FM and leading music press.
With a voice of real experience, having professionally gigged for a number of years as a singer and pianist, she is now planning the release of her own material.
Unafraid to blend different styles and influences, Pokkisham is reaching out to share music that pushes boundaries and shows true craftmanship. As a composer, there is true freedom here in her style that mixes jazz harmony, soulful vocals, driving grooves and poetry-infused lyricism, aided by years of performing experience, musical knowledge and a sense of deep inquiry to all that she does.
Garnering praise from Quincy Jones to numerous British musicians, Pokkisham occupies her own space in the musical world. This is a craftswoman at work, and her continuing musical journey is one you want to be in on.
Featuring the standout talents of her trio comprising Jason Reyes on bass and Ubley-based drummer Jim Norden on drums.
