Born in Venice and later shaping her artistic identity in the UK, Barbara Reggio is a London-based jazz singer and songwriter whose music identity fluidly moves across genres. An eclectic artist at heart, and deeply in love with stories, she treats each song as a world of its own, guided by emotion and narrative.
Her collaborations with a wide range of artists reflect her openness and curiosity, often drawing inspiration from instrumental pieces and weaving lyrics into them with an intuitive, almost cinematic sensibility. With a warm, expressive voice that carries both intimacy and strength, she creates and sings music that feels personal yet universally resonant.
She will be accompanied by Terence Collie, a London-based pianist and composer whose music bridges contemporary jazz, classical textures, and cinematic atmospheres.
A MOBO Amplified Award winner (2025) with sold-out shows at PizzaExpress Jazz Club Soho, Collie has
performed at leading UK venues and festivals, including Brecon Jazz Festival, the EFG London Jazz Festival
at Cadogan Hall, and the 606 Club.
His work combines intricate composition with emotive improvisation, creating an immersive and
dynamic live experience.
