Akina McKenzie - The Black Phoenix (2020)

She opens her show with a gospel. Her mysterious character and her heavy voice will make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. In her song "Miracle Man", she accompanies herself with a rather innovative blues guitar. The dark ambience reminds you of Tom Waits - yet it's a folk song with a touch of classical music. "She takes the Blues and she cooks with it!"

Akina McKenzie, born in the boiling heat of Los Angles in 1990, is a Singer/Songwriter and living in Switzerland. She has experienced a great deal in life for her young age, which created the foundation of her love towards Blues and Soul music.
