SUNNY REYNE

Infusing a blend of neo-soul and alt-jazz influences, Melbourne-born, London-based singer Sunny Reyne’s warm, lush vocals inspire a distinctive and calming energy, emphasising the subtleties and nuances of groove and synth-laden beats. 

2023 saw Sunny release her debut album entitled ‘I’ve Been Sleeping Too Long’, an alt-jazz and neo-soul record released via London-based label Bridge The Gap. The project was created in collaboration with producer Lewis Moody, bringing to life her earthy, soulful tracks, with songwriting sitting somewhere between Lianne La Havas and Brittany Howard’s grounded take on contemporary soul music. 

Sunny has been living in London for the past year, where she has garnered attention across the UK from the likes of Jamie Cullum, BBC and JazzFM and played across festivals including Wilderness, We Out Here and Cross The Tracks. 

In her music, Sunny opts for minimalistic, rhythmic vocal lines and understated instrumentation in combination with detailed production choices and disjointed grooves that combine to add extra weight to her lyrics, highlighting her considered vocal choices.

This performance at The JazzLab sees Sunny backed by Ollie Rolfe on keys and piano, Angus Radley on bass and Jordan Pereira on drums.
