Nectar Woode

Nectar Woode brings her intimate blend of neo-soul, folk, jazz and gospel to O2 Institute Birmingham in Birmingham on 17 October 2026. Raised in Milton Keynes in a Ghanaian-British family, the singer-songwriter crafts clear, unadorned melodies and a nuanced voice that bridges the contemporary UK soul scene and the traditions of acoustic songwriting. Her music draws on everyday life and identity, with lyrics that keep things close to the bone and arrangements that leave room for breath and detail.

On stage, Nectar Woode favors proximity and conversation. She moves with ease between hushed folk textures and subtle, groove-led soul, building a calm momentum rather than chasing volume. Expect intimate storytelling, quiet dynamics and moments of exchange with the audience—an approach shaped by her path through independent soul and jazz circuits across the UK. Alongside her own projects, she champions underrepresented artists with the Women in Jazz collective on Soho Radio, a curiosity that also feeds the way she frames and shares her songs live.
