The hits
Nubya Garcia emerged as a prominent voice in contemporary jazz during a period of renewed interest in the genre’s possibilities. A Thames-side London native, she honed her craft within a dynamic scene that values improvisation, collaborative composition, and cross-genre influence. Her distinctive sound blends lyrical, soaring horn lines with rhythmic propulsion, drawing on Caribbean and Afro-diasporic influences alongside jazz tradition. Nubya’s artistry extends beyond performing; she has helped shape modern jazz through leadership, mentorship, and a network of similarly adventurous artists.
Her rise was recognized with multiple honors: the Jazz FM Breakthrough Act (2018) and Sky Arts Breakthrough Act (2018), followed by Jazz FM UK Jazz Act of the Year (2019). In 2020, her debut full-length album Source, released on Concord Jazz (August 21, 2020), earned widespread critical acclaim and earned a Mercury Prize nomination in 2021 for the UK album category. The recognition solidified Nubya’s role as a central figure in the global jazz conversation.
In September 2024, Nubya released Odyssey, her second studio album, again on Concord Jazz. Odyssey features orchestral arrangements and notable guests, including Esperanza Spalding and Georgia Anne Muldrow, underscoring her willingness to explore orchestration and expansive textures. The record achieved strong chart performance, reaching #27 on the UK Albums Chart and #1 on the UK Jazz & Blues Albums Chart, among other notable positions.
Beyond studio work, Nubya has toured extensively, bringing live interpretations of her compositions to fans around the world. Her 2025 tour expanded to Europe and North America with performances announced by major outlets, including Pitchfork, continuing her reputation for compelling live jazz with a modern edge.
