LUISA SOBRAL
Luisa Sobral.
23 years.
A voice, a guitar, pen and paper.
From these elements, a musical universe is created in each composition.
Instinctive and expectant.
The Cherry on my Cake is the result of all these possibilities.
Songs full of images.
It is her first full length album, the result of a musical journey that began at the tender age of 12.
Empathy with the musical instruments with the guitar began.
And very little was delivered to the melodies immortalized by jazz.
The ability of a melody to sustain itself, almost without instruments.
He embraced artists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, and many others and with them in her heart went to study at Berklee.
In the 4 years he lived in Boston was nominated for Best Jazz Song of the Malibu Music Awards (2008) and as Best Jazz Artist at the Hollywood Music Awards.
In addition to these nominations and study hard, Luisa was also discovering herself with each passing year and defining his musical identity, which continue to evolve in New York, where he moved after completing his studies at Berklee in 2009.
The Cherry on my Cake is the result of all this: the person who dreams of living in Paris - totally inspired by French cinema, the atmosphere of New York insanity, his love of Lisbon.
Regina Spektor Regina Elis.
From Billie Holiday to Bjork.
Since the 50's naiveté.
Sound to the picture.
From his voice to his talent.
Quite a discovery.
