Sheila Maurice-Grey
trumpetAbout
Ms Maurice, also known as Sheila Maurice - Grey, is a London based trumpeter, vocalist and visual artist.
She brings a melange of influences from organic grooves, infused with 70s jazz and a touch of West African sonic seasoning - sounds heavily influenced by her London upbringing.
Central to Ms Maurice's music is her visual art practice through which she aims to question her 'identity' as well as what it means 'to misrepresent vs to be misrepresented.’
Ms Maurice is also bandleader of KOKOROKO and plays with jazz septet Nérija, who were nominated for Jazz Fm Breakthrough Act 2016 and Parliamentary Jazz Newcomer of Year 2017 winner.
She has performed with the likes of SOLANGE, KANO on the ‘Jool’s Holland Show’ and ‘The Mercury Prize 2016,’ and features on Little SIMZ’s album ‘Stillness in Wonderland.’...
