The voice artist Céline Rudolph, born and raised in Berlin, is unanimously celebrated by the press as the vocal discovery of recent years. The young singer astonishes with her fresh, expressive voice which seems effortlessly to clear all the hurdles of vocal art. With unbelievable ease she breaks all the boundaries from Brazilian sounds to Jazz scats, from an emotional feeling to free expression. She is a master in mood creation and her personality is naturally magical. Not only Groove, Brazil, Ethno, but also filigreed sound poetry and exciting improvisations: a play with the poetic moment which is captured, painted and set free.
Born and raised in Berlin, Céline made her first steps in the world of music at a very early age. At the age of twelve she was already writing chansons, inspired by her French mother, and her father’s album collection which introduced her to the Afro-american and Brazil-ian musical culture. Here Céline got in touch with the musicality of the Portuguese language, which she began to learn at the age of 15. Céline started a de-gree in jazz singing and composition at the “Hochschule der Künste Berlin” (Berlin University of Arts) with David Friedman and others.
In 1990 Céline Rudolph founded her first band, with whom she published two CDs, won her first contests and toured widely, in Africa and the Balkans. Numer-ous festival performances, radio, TV and CD produc-tions made her well-known and got her into contact with international music celebrities such as Lee Konitz and Bobby Mc Ferrin in coming years. Céline Rudolph conducts dialogues in all areas between entertainment and serious music. In 2003 she was appointed professor of jazz/rock/pop at the music university of Dresden.
In 2000 at her first trip to Brazil Céline met Rodolfo Stroeter, an acclaimed bass player and producer who has not only produced Joyce, Caetano Veloso, Nana Vasconcelos and Milton Nascimento, but also is into improvisation and Jazz. They decided to work on a Brazilian inspired album, which should be just „simple and beautiful“. Acclaimed musicians such as accordion player Toninho Ferragutti and percussionist Marcos Suzano granted this project a quality of its own. Released in 2007 by ENJA RECORDS, the album “Brazaventure” was followed by a successful tour in a quintet with Toninho Ferragutti (accordion) and Rodolfo Stroeter on bass, which gave the opportunity for both audiences and critics to witness Céline’s outstanding vocal qualities.
Her new album was released in April 2009, featuring again Ferragutti and Stroeter as well as Nana Vasconcelos on percussion. A sensational tour followed in May, with another coming up in November. She is available in 2010 for concerts abroad. Enja Records has distribution partner all over the world.
