Nectar Woode

Nectar Woode will be at La Bellevilloise in Paris on October 27, 2026. A singer and songwriter born in Milton Keynes to a Ghanaian-British family, she develops a soul sound at the crossroads of folk, jazz and gospel. Raised between the harmonies of the church and the records of Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway, she has forged an intimate and direct songwriting style, carried by a nuanced voice and clear melodies.

On stage, Nectar cultivates intimacy: stripped-back songs, guitar and warm arrangements, where the echo of the gospel choir meets the mellow groove of neo-soul. Her lyrics explore identity, family and the search for the self, with careful attention to rhythm and silence. Compared to Nina Simone by Elton John on his Rocket Hour show, she traces her own path between acoustic ballads and jazzier flights, leaving room for interaction with the audience.

At La Bellevilloise, audiences will discover an artist who blends Ghanaian heritage, the British soul scene and a strong sense of songwriting in a set with understated arrangements.
