**Kandace Springs**

Nashville may be the heart of country music, but it also birthed jazz pianist and singer Kandace Springs, whose soulful lyricism and raw talent have carried her from parking cars to performing at major venues worldwide. Raised by her father, a backup singer for legends like Aretha Franklin, Kandace’s musical journey began when she taught herself jazz and classical standards by ear, later finding inspiration in artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Norah Jones. Despite working as a hotel parking attendant, her breakthrough came after her father passed her demo to industry insiders, leading to a partnership with hitmakers Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken. A pivotal audition with Don Was at Blue Note Records, followed by Prince’s mentorship, helped shape her unique sound. Her debut single, "Love Got In The Way," landed her national TV appearances, and her collaboration with Prince further solidified her place in the music world. Her 2016 album Soul Eyes earned worldwide acclaim, and in the years following, Kandace performed on prestigious stages, including with Sting and Jack White. The pandemic led her to explore other passions like vintage car restoration, but music soon called her back. In tribute to her late father, she released Run Your Race, her most personal work to date. Now, Kandace is preparing for a new chapter with Lady in Satin, a stunning homage to Billie Holiday, recorded with a 60-piece orchestra—a project she describes as one of the most incredible musical experiences of her life.
