Women in Music, Jade MacRae and SAYAH @ Ziggy's Barber Shop

Ziggy’s Barber Shop is hosting a series of pop-up live music parties featuring established and emerging female artists. Taking us out on a high note for the grand finale are two of Sydney's most loved soul singers, Jade MacRae and SAYAH

Jade MacRae released two full length RnB albums under her own name garnering critical acclaim and earning her three ARIA Award nominations as well as receiving numerous APRA Awards and other nominations. Her flair for live performance and dynamic on stage delivery has led to work with Australian greats such as Jimmy Barnes, Cold Chisel, Renee Geyer and Neil Finn, and international luminaries such as Ray Charles, James Brown, Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) and John Legend. Jade’s unmistakable tone saw her cast as the voice of ‘Cynthia’ in the Cannes hit film The Sapphires and she remains highly sought after as a film, TV and studio vocalist to producers and artists the world over. Jade’s vocals soar over deep soulful grooves with a sound reminiscent of Etta James, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Big Maybelle and Dinah Washington. 

SAYAH is a singer-songwriter from Sydney with electro-soul flavours and self- confessional lyrics. Her dark, lush vocals draw comparisons to King Princess with a touch of Jorja Smith, yet it’s hard to miss the soul and stylings of Erykah Badu and Amy Winehouse. In 2017 SAYAH's debut single ‘Addicts’ quickly shot to #1 on the Triple J Unearthed Pop Chart within days of being uploaded. Since then, she has played to a growing audience of converts around Sydney, including recently opening for Woodes and Triple J darling Ruel. Her appearance on Balcony TV won International viewers’ choice on their “Show of the Week”.
