Nedelle Torrisi

The Los Angeles-based Nedelle Torrisi has been a musician since the day she was born. Her 100 percent Sicilian parents were a jazz drummer and a classical pianist (not to mention, also a former Jesuit priest and nun). She began studying classical violin at six, singing at seven, and eventually went on to study jazz voice at Berklee College of Music, finishing her degree at San Francisco State University with an emphasis in jazz music history. While Torrisi’s roots lie in the jazz world her musical career - from her previous solo albums to her work with Cryptacize (her band with Chris Cohen) - has always contained more of a 90s-R&B sensibility. That appreciation carries over to her new LP, Only For You, being released via NYC indie label Frenchkiss Records.
