My name is Helen, I am a 26 year old woman from the UK and this is my blog dedicated to women in music… Here you will find well known, little known and brand new female musicians all being appreciated =) This blog is not, and never will be, genre specific. You will find all different types of music covered here from pop, R&B, hip hop, indie, rock, punk, metal, folk, dance, country to industrial, world, reggae, ska, blues, jazz and soul. I will be posting news, photos, videos, artist profiles, music, album reviews, interviews and anything else of interest. I try and source all the material I use but if you spot anything that you believe to be an infringement of copyright it will be removed immediately and you have my sincerest apologies. I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I do!

Cindy has walked a different path from the average jazz singer. Born and raised in a house full of music and musicians, she chose flute as her first instrument and went to LSU on a music scholarship. Uncertain about life as a professional musician but positive she wanted to travel the world, Cindy got an MBA, learned to speak German and Spanish, and spent several years living and working abroad. During one of these stints she discovered jazz and began singing in the jazz cellars of Germany with local musicians.<br/><br/>Cindy eventually found herself in Houston climbing the corporate ladder by day and playing jazz clubs by night. In 2005, she traded a successful business career for a life devoted to music and moved to New Orleans just months before Hurricane Katrina hit. She decided to return and complete her Masters in Music (Jazz Studies) from the University of New Orleans, a program founded by famed educator Ellis Marsalis and now led by guitar icon Steve Masakowski. She is now firmly rooted in the rich and diverse music scene of the Crescent City.<br/><br/>Cindy has found a happy marriage between her straight-ahead roots and the musical gumbo that pervades New Orleans. She always sings music she connects with, whether jazz standards, unexpected genre-bending choices, or her own originals. Her most recent CD, Let the Devil Take Tomorrow, was voted New Orleans’ Best Contemporary Jazz Recording for 2010, a huge honor in a field that included projects by Christian Scott and Donald Harrison. The recording was also listed in Offbeat Magazine’s 2010 top 40 Louisiana releases in all genres. <em>(Bio from official website)</em></p> <ul><li><a href="http://cindyscott.us/" target="_blank">Official Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/cindyscottjazz" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/JazzCindy" target="_blank">Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/cindyscott" target="_blank">Reverb Nation</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/jazzcindy3140" target="_blank">YouTube</a></li> </ul>http://women-in-music.tumblr.com/post/51305199378http://women-in-music.tumblr.com/post/51305199378Sat, 25 May 2013 16:04:39 +0100cindy scott<iframe src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F89113402&liking=false&sharing=false&origin=tumblr" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" class="soundcloud_audio_player" width="500" height="116"></iframe><br/><br/><p><em>Tanya Lacey feat.
