Three years after Quincy Jones awarded her first prize in 2011's Montreux Jazz Festival Vocal Competition, Italian-born Chiara Izzi moved to New York where she's continued to flourish, performing at venues like Iridium, Birdland, The Blue Note and The Kennedy Center.
She won the 2020 Independent Music Award for Best Jazz song with Vocals for her composition "Circles Of The Mind." AllAboutJazz.com called Izzi's vocals, delivered with a warm, Mediterranean quality, "a force of nature."
