Award-winning Liverpool based ‘Neo-jazz star, Ni Maxine’ (NME) is one to watch. Her music moves between past and future, blending conscious lyricism, rich storytelling, and an unshakable sense of self as she detangles her transatlantic roots.

‘For Ni Maxine, the stage isn’t just about performance, it’s communion.’ (Wordplay Magazine). Themes of home, identity, self-worth, and belonging weave through her work, creating something that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.

Taking home ‘Breakthrough Act of The Year’ at The Jazz FM Awards 2025 marks the beginning of a significant chapter for Ni Maxine. She consistently pushes the boundaries of jazz, locking in support from tastemakers Jamz Supernova and Gilles Peterson across the BBC, Worldwide FM, Selector Radio and more.
From We Out Here to The Jazz Cafe – wherever she plays, she pulls people in.

With a string of sold-out shows and a nomination in the NOTION New Music Awards behind her, Ni Maxine isn’t just rising; she’s redefining what it means to belong in this moment of UK music.

Support from Nauta

Nauta are a contemporary Jazz Quintet that formed in 2023 and have established themselves as one of the major players in the emerging Geordie Jazz scene. They have spent the last 3 years playing their original music to audiences across the North East; including the Newcastle Jazz Festival, the Hexham Jazz Festival, and sold-out headline shows at the Globe, Newcastle.

Channeling the ferocity of jazz giants from the 20th century and the folk melodicism of their ancestors, Nauta brings a unique sound to the burgeoning jazz scene – championing the authentic love of dance and freedom that this community has been built on. Nauta have honed their sound across 4 singles, most recently with “Second Floor” – a bubbling, feel-good summer tune that will warm your soul.

With more new music on the way, Nauta look forward to developing along with the growing Geordie Jazz scene and continuing to be an integral part of the community that surrounds it.
