Cécile Nordegg
The complex artistic and musical concept of Cécile Nordegg is cross-genre productions that internationally connect artists of various cultures, genres and generations.
In a world in which people emphasise on differences and affiliations, Cécile Nordegg open-mindedly seeks to find connections, to encourage cohesion, to unite.
Her refined and distinctive musical style, which combines the art of story telling of the French Chanson, the musical roots of Cécile in Rock’n Roll and her partly classical vocal training is unified in Jazz.
While touring the globe her musical journey resulted in meeting many interesting artists who gladly support Cécile on stage and in the studio. Wherever and whenever she performs live she asks representative musicians from the host country to play the shows with her and her band; the technical possibilities of studio recordings allow musicians from all corners of the musical world to come together to create and make music and develop projects together.
