Hailed as a “valiant trailblazer” by JazzTimes and “a natural wonder” by Le Monde, Maria Neckam is emerging as one of the most original and innovative musicians on the East Coast, since moving to New York from Europe. “Neckam has crafted one of the most appealing, genre-crossing vocal albums to hit the street in 2010“, says All About Jazz about Deeper, her recently released Sunnyside debut, and “her voice has a hypnotic purity that has the potential to stop people dead in their tracks.” 

Deeper, made the top 10 of 2010 in Le Monde, the largest newspaper in France, and on Something Else! Blog and was also the best “New Discovery” of 2010 on All About Jazz. 

“Fortunately for listeners interested in bold originality, Maria Neckam has shaped that cyclonic mix of international influences into a sound and style as refreshing as Kat Edmonson, as idiosyncratic as Björk and often as outre as Patty Waters.” -JazzTimes
