"A true new talent, shining right here..."
- Ian Shaw

"Her voice and everything else that comes with the package of a master vocalist is pure soul, swing and fire!"
- Leroy Jones

Louise Balkwill is a jazz singer living and performing in London. She was born in Tooting and raised in Leicester by her hard working single mum of three, Vanessa, who encouraged and inspired her to pursue her interest in music from a very early age. Born into a family of musicians, Louise has never been short of inspiration and was raised as a multi instrumentalist before turning her interests to singing at the age of 16.

Louise formed her first jazz ensemble at the age of 17 and later obtained a scholarship at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. She was awarded the Vivian Prindl Outreach Prize in 2017 in recognition of her projects of international acclaim.

Since moving to London in September 2012, Louise has had the pleasure of learning from and working with musicians such as Leroy Jones, Barry Harris, Pete Churchill, Trudy Kerr, Brigette Beraha, Malcolm Earle-Smith, Ofer Landsberg, Simon Purcell, Liane Carroll, Sophie Bancroft, Sara Colman, Barry Green, Tina May, Nia Lynn, Anita Wardell, Nick Weldon, Martin Speake and Phil Peskett.

Louise has performed in top venues all over London, such as Pizza Express Jazz Club, Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, 606 Club, The Archduke, Charlie Wright's and Oliver's Jazz Bar to name a few. In addition to her UK ventures, Louise has performed overseas and has won the hearts of audiences in New York, New Orleans, Japan and all over Europe alongside household names such as Kermit Ruffins, Leroy Jones and Michael Kanan. She has recently been chosen to represent the UK in the Riga Jazz Stage Contest in 2021

An avid composer, arranger and lyricist, Louise has worked with the likes of legendary trumpeter Leroy Jones among other internationally critically acclaimed artists and bands.

Named by multi-award-winning singer Liane Carroll as a singer to listen out for.

"Totally bowled over by Louise Balkwill's incredible vocals and engaging stage presence"
