Italian-born, a former London resident but now based in China, singer/actress Viviana Zarbo has played regularly at some of London's most established music venues, including Pizza Express Soho, Ronnie Scott’s and Crazy Coqs. After graduating from the American Musical Theatre Academy of London in 2014, Viviana developed an innovative repertoire from the Great American Songbook, re-interpreting the songs by drawing inspiration from great jazz singers such as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O'Day and Sarah Vaughan as well as influences from actresses/singers such as Julie London, Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland. Her debut album "Take Away" on the prestigious jazz record label 33Jazz Records further showcased her sumptuous voice and winning delivery. This Sunday, for what is now only an occasional London gig, she will be bringing to the Club her latest show which “remembers some of the most important women in jazz, cinema and music - the ones who left an indelible mark on our hearts”, from Josephine Baker, Carmen Miranda, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald to Madonna and Amy Winehouse". A classy and elegant performer, her gigs are always swinging and fun.
