Nectar Woode

Communion ONE presents Nectar Woode at KOKO, London on 21 October 2026. Raised in Milton Keynes in a Ghanaian-British family, the singer and songwriter shapes music where her heritage and the everyday experience of a mixed-race woman sit at the core. Her live set moves between neo-soul, folk, jazz and gospel, favouring intimate songwriting, clear melodies and a voice that plays with shade and detail rather than excess.

Linked to the UK’s independent soul and jazz scenes, Woode brings the songs to the stage with a focus on closeness and conversation. She often takes time to speak with the room, letting stories breathe before folding them back into the music. Expect warm harmonies, acoustic colours and arrangements that keep the writing upfront, with dynamics that rise and fall around the grain of her vocal.

Early tracks that first carried her through venues and festivals sit alongside newer material, tracing the path of an artist who connects the British soul lineage to acoustic songwriting traditions. At KOKO, it is about songs presented simply and directly, and a set built to be shared with the people in front of her.
