Scottish chanteuse, Chantelle, has been described as “a celtic Eve Cassidy”.  Her love of vocal improvisation has led her down a soul/funk/jazz route in music and she’s never happier than when on stage belting out one of her numbers. Chantelle uses more of a soul/gospel approach to make her own song. Chantelle studied jazz & popular music as a graduate diploma at Newcastle College of Arts & Technology, during which time she sang in working mens clubs all over the North East.

She won the Blackfriars Young Jazz soloist of the Year title with her college big band. Chantelles audiences have included Ralph Fiennes, Lauren Bacall, Liam Neeson, Rod Stewart and Demi Moore. With Galaxy f.m. DJ and producer, Wayne C. McDonald, her cover of “One Day I’ll Fly Away” reached the 3^rd spot in the Blues and Soul Chart in 1994.  This was the start of many recordings and releases she has sung over the years.

She performs at small festivals, big parties, in intimate restaurants, doing backing vocals and T.V. work as well as writing and recording her debut album. And the style of music is anything from jazz to blues to folk. Her rich and soulful voice means her versatility makes her hugely in demand. And as ever, she’s a soul singer at heart.
