Melody Gardot

Jazz-Influenced Singer-Songwriter

Melody Gardot is an American jazz singer, songwriter, and musician who has garnered critical acclaim for her emotive voice and distinctive blend of jazz, blues, and soul influences. She began her music career in earnest after a life-changing car accident at the age of 19, which led her to use music as therapy during her recovery. Gardot's debut album, "Worrisome Heart," introduced her as a promising talent in 2008, but it was her sophomore effort, "My One And Only Thrill," released in 2009, that truly established her as a global jazz sensation. The album featured the hit "Baby I'm A Fool" and showcased Gardot's sultry vocals and sophisticated songwriting.
