Joanna Eden is an acclaimed English jazz singer, songwriter, and pianist celebrated for her original compositions and interpretations of jazz standards. Born in Lincolnshire to a musical family, she began piano at six, composed her first song by seven, and earned a degree in Creative Arts before immersing herself in London's vibrant jazz scene.
Her debut album, A Little Bird Told Me, launched at Ronnie Scott's, and her follow-up, My Open Eye, was re-released globally by Universal, earning praise from critics and airplay on BBC Radio. Joanna has performed at top venues, including The Stables and Pizza Express Jazz Club, and supported high-profile acts such as Jamie Cullum, the Buena Vista Social Club, and Ronan Keating.
Praised by Mojo magazine for her melody, mystery, and bite, Joanna's six albums span jazz, soul, blues, and bossa nova. Beyond performing, she is a passionate educator who mentored a young Sam Smith.
