23 year old singer-songwriter and guitarist, Raquel Martins moved to London when she was only 17. Raised under the sun in Portugal, she grew up listening to the endless classics from the Brazilian and jazz repertoire. It was only when she discovered the world of contemporary hip-hop and soul that she realised she could create something new with all the sounds she had been absorbing over the years.

In only a few years in the UK capital, she's established herself as both a very solid side musician working for established artists like Poppy Ajudha, as well as an artist with a unique voice, at the intersection of modern soul and jazz. She makes music reminiscent of Nai Palm, Jordan Rakei or Oscar Jerome, with an added authentic Brazilian flavour that sets her apart.

Her debut EP drew praise from tastemakers like Gilles Peterson and Jamie Cullum and has so far amassed over 600,000 streams.

A brilliant chance to see one of London's most exciting new songwriting talents in the beautifully intimate surroundings of the Woolwich Works bar.

'A smooth amalgam of soul and jazz, with mellow vocals sitting alongside latin-inflected percussion and horn arrangements. Raquel Martins truly is carving out her own path.'
