Description
After honing his art and craft for many years with discipline and singular imagination, Bay Area-based vocalist Nicolas Bearde is due for much broader recognition. A supremely gifted singer/entertainer who is fluent in soul, jazz and R&B stylings, Bearde has been compared to vocal icons like Lou Rawls, Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, and Jon Lucien. But such comparisons fail to capture his vocal artistry or do justice to his musical accomplishments on record or in performance. Bearde's music has been accorded an especially enthusiastic reception in the UK, where he placed high on the list of Best Male Newcomers in Blues and Soul magazine's 1998 poll.
In addition to his high-profile role with Bobby McFerrin´s Voicestra – the innovative a cappella group of which Nicolas was a founding member – and SoVoSó, the artistic offshoot of Voicestra, with whom he´s toured and recorded since the mid-1990s, Bearde has worked steadily with an array of artists from Patti Austin, Michael Bolton and Janis Siegel to McFerrin, John Handy, Chris Camozzi, and his own outstanding group, the Right Groove.
