Saudia Young

New York born performer Saudia Young came to Berlin in 2008  to find her inner Marlene Dietrich and Josephine Baker and bumped into her inner Big Mamma Thornton & Louie Prima on the way.    Actually the talented singer/songwriter/ actress  found her own unique voice on the smokey stages of Berlin adding a fine feather to her performance history hat.  Young's Berlin based band play a mixture of  swing, blues and Dark Rock & Roll. An electric performer, Young tips her hat to the "dark kabarett swingers from the 20s to the present". Saudia`s sultry voice, comedic story telling banter and the excellent musicianship of the band make this a not to be missed act.
