Sister Cookie

Sister Cookie is a London-based, Lagos, Nigeria-born (towards the end of the 1980's) singer-songwriter and self-taught pianist known for her unique blend of soul, rhythm and blues, and jazz. Her youth saw her absorb the jazz, soul, highlife and juju LPs in her parents’ collections and make further musical discoveries of her own throughout her teenage years and beyond. She combines soul, R&B, jazz, and sometimes West African rhythms, often described as a mix of "old sounds, new tricks." Often dubbed the "Black Rose of the Blues," she is recognized for her powerful, sultry vocals and raw song writing, drawing influence from 1950s/60s sounds.
