Late Night Jazz: Ego Ella May

Fresh off being nominated in
the Best Jazz Category at the 2025 MOBO Awards and releasing her latest
critically-acclaimed project FIELDNOTES: COMPLETE, South London
singer Ego Ella May takes to the stage for a special
performance in the Elgar Room.

A British-Nigerian
award-winning singer-songwriter and musician, Ego has an all-encompassing love
of music, which she channels into her own genre-blending R&B, neo-soul and
contemporary jazz compositions.

She has a high level of
admiration for people who show their vulnerabilities through music, and uses
this as a source of inspiration; “It’s so easy to lie to yourself and
others, so I really admire people who have the audacity to be truthful”. Her
songwriting takes influences from equal measures of reflective moments of
solitude and conversations with friends, which she demonstrates with effortless
power in each unique voicing.

The fast rising talent is
quickly building a noteworthy catalogue of releases including her impressive
2020 debut LP Honey for Wounds, a soul-tingling blend of jazz, R&B and neo
soul vocal musicality. Incredibly honest, self-penned, personal and observational
lyrics are laced with tales of self-healing, protest, love and loss, global
issues and more. She followed this up with her FIELDNOTES series of EP releases
and is set to release her eager anticipated sophomore album in 2025.
