# Amy Gadiaga Is Bringing Jazz, Soul, and Bold Woman Energy Into One Fresh Sound BTS Music Group’s jazz spotlight turns to **Amy Gadiaga**, a London-based bassist, vocalist, and composer whose sound lives where jazz tradition, soul, R&B, African influence, and bold self-expression meet. Amy Gadiaga is not the type of artist who fits neatly into one box. Her music carries the discipline of a trained jazz musician, the emotion of a soul singer, and the confidence of a new-generation creative who understands that jazz can still be fresh, colorful, stylish, and deeply personal. Born in the Paris suburbs and now based in London, Gadiaga has been building her name inside the modern UK jazz movement. Her background gives her music a wide cultural reach, pulling from French, African, jazz, R&B, and soul influences. That mix is part of what makes her stand out. She is not simply performing jazz standards or chasing a retro sound. She is using jazz as a foundation to tell her own story. Her current project, ***BabyGoated***, shows an artist stepping fully into her voice. The EP is confident, emotional, and genre-fluid, moving through upright bass, warm piano, trumpet, soulful vocals, and modern rhythmic energy. The title itself reflects Amy’s creative balance: soft but strong, vulnerable but confident, youthful but serious about the craft. Before *BabyGoated*, Amy introduced many listeners to her world through ***All Black Everything***, a project that helped establish her as a fresh voice in the London jazz scene. That release carried themes of identity, empowerment, pride, and freedom, setting the tone for an artist who uses music as both expression and statement. What makes Amy Gadiaga special is her dual role as both vocalist and bassist. That gives her music a different kind of authority. She is not just singing over the band — she is part of the engine driving the sound. Her bass work grounds the music, while her voice brings emotion, personality, and storytelling to the front. Her style has been described as sitting between jazz and R&B, but there is more happening than that. Amy’s music has the spirit of classic jazz, the warmth of neo-soul, the color of African-rooted creativity, and the confidence of an artist who knows exactly how she wants to be seen and heard. The community side of her story is also important. Amy Gadiaga has been connected to platforms and spaces that support young, forward-thinking jazz talent, including Jazz re:freshed, Tomorrow’s Warriors-related programming, and women-centered jazz media spaces. These communities matter because they help bring new jazz voices to audiences that may not always find them through mainstream channels. Amy’s presence in the UK jazz scene also helps push representation forward. As a Black female instrumentalist, vocalist, composer, and bandleader, she brings visibility to a lane where women are still too often underrepresented, especially on instruments like bass. Her work carries confidence, pride, and creative freedom without losing musicianship. For new listeners, **“BabyGoated”** is the best place to start. From there, **“who knows,” “All Black Everything,” “Paloma Negra,” “Full Sun,”** and **“Soar When I’m Alone”** give a wider picture of her range. These songs show her ability to move between bold energy, soft emotion, jazz structure, and soul feeling. Amy Gadiaga is the kind of artist BTS Music Group looks for: original, talented, intentional, and still rising. She has the sound, image, musicianship, and story to connect with listeners who want jazz that feels alive today. She is not just preserving jazz. She is reshaping it in her own image. ## Quick Facts **Artist Name:** Amy Gadiaga **Location:** London, UK **Origin:** Paris suburbs **Genre:** Jazz / Vocal Jazz / Jazz-R&B / Neo-Soul / Alternative R&B **Primary Roles:** Bassist, vocalist, composer, bandleader **Current Project:** *BabyGoated* **Release Year:** 2026 **Previous Project:** *All Black Everything* **Recommended Tracks:** “BabyGoated,” “who knows,” “All Black Everything,” “Paloma Negra,” “Full Sun,” “Soar When I’m Alone” **Artist Angle:** A rising female jazz artist blending upright bass, soulful vocals, African-rooted identity, and modern London jazz energy ## Why BTS Music Group Selected Her Amy Gadiaga was selected because she represents the new face of jazz: skilled, expressive, culturally rooted, and unafraid to blend sounds.
