“With a voice like honey and an “Americana soul” sound steeped in old-school jazz, R&B, and folk traditions, the Seattle-born singer/songwriter carries the past into the present with refreshing ease. She does just that on her debut album VESSEL, a confident and cathartic coming-of-age record that captures the full spectrum of her artistry – from its roots in improvisation and harmony, to its emotional depth and genre-spanning warmth.
Raised in a spiritual, music-filled household in Seattle, Forde grew up without a television and with her feet in the dirt – the daughter of a musician and meditation teachers who encouraged her to stay curious, grounded, and creatively free. She spent her formative years singing in choirs, studying jazz in college, and steeping herself in the classics – including Bonnie Raitt, Carole King, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nancy Wilson – while developing a voice and vision that felt entirely her own. “There’s nothing else in this world I could possibly do,” she reflects. “I’ve known that from an early age; this is what I was put on this earth to do.”
