Neo-Jazz Singer-Songwriter; a black woman navigating the modern world and exploring themes of home, identity, self-esteem and belonging.

Born in North London and raised in Bristol, Ni Maxine moved to Liverpool in 2019 and has since discovered just how deep her connection to the city runs, with both of her parents having spent much of their youth in the Merseyside area, and with the docks playing a huge part in the reason why she came to be…

Black Music was all she knew growing up: She recalls her father’s love of jazz, her mother’s love of funk and rare groove, as well as her Sunday mornings in a gospel church, where she first learned to sing. With Radio 1 Introducing ‘Tip of The Week’ and Jazz FM radio-play under her belt, a sold-out debut headline show in Liverpool and the iconic sell-out ‘Ode To Billie Holiday’ show at The Liverpool Philharmonic this year on her CV, Ni Maxine is one to watch!
