Guest Event: Naomi Banks

Part of Theatreship's guest nights - where contemporary artists take over the ship to highlight the stories they want to tell.

Here's some more info from the organisers:

Naomi Banks is a British musician renowned for her ability to blend jazz, pop, and electronica. She did her first professional recording at the age of six and later earned scholarships to the Purcell School of Music and Trinity Conservatoire, where she specialised in jazz vocals.

She has collaborated with artists such as Laura Mvula, Lianne La Havas and Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) before launching her solo career. Her debut EP, Déjà Vu (2018), showcased her warm and powerful voice, with tracks like Enough being selected as BBC Introducing’s Track of the Week on Radio 1.

In 2021, she released Meeting Again, further solidifying her distinctive style in the contemporary music scene. She has performed at prestigious venues, including the Royal Festival Hall, the Royal Albert Hall, and Carnegie Hall.

Banks has also contributed to film soundtracks, notably with her song Those Who Love, featured in the Netflix film Despite Everything (A Pesar De Todo). Additionally, she wrote and produced the music for Valentino’s show Siren, in which she also performed as the Siren. She has also performed in Punchdrunk’s production of The Burnt City playng the role of Orpheus.

With her unique style and ability to blend diverse genres, Naomi Banks continues to captivate audiences with her soulful and dynamic sound.
