Arianna Neikrug

Arianna Neikrug is a New York City-based vocalist, songwriter, arranger, and recording artist. Following her formal musical education, Arianna established herself as a mainstay of the jazz community with her first-prize victory in the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition (2015) and her critically acclaimed debut outing on Concord Records, Changes (2018). A natural-born performer, she brings charm and charisma to the stage and delights her audiences with expressiveness and humor. After spending the better part of a decade immersed in the Great American Songbook, Arianna was ready to step out from behind the standards and find her own artistic voice, typified by her new single ‘Till I Find My Guy.’ With her new releases, Arianna reintroduces herself through a fresh and intriguing new idiom in pop, while also revealing the depth and breadth of her influences beyond jazz—as will be immediately apparent to fans of Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Laura Nyro, and, more contemporaneously, the likes of Sara Bareilles, Brandi Carlile, and Lianne La Havas. The result is a lyrically powerful meditation on self-doubt, the life of an artist, perseverance, and the search for meaning and joy, all couched musically in warm, vital, infectious, and expertly-constructed pop songs—and all delivered with Arianna's characteristic blend of both technical mastery and genuine soul.
