Saudia Young-Jive Kabarett Noir

Saudia Young is a New York-born actress & singer with caramel whiskey-drenched vocals, boundless stage presence and a sassy storytelling style. Young is a genre-bending performer. She easily transitions from Bo Diddley-infused Rhythm & Blues to Louis Prima Jive. Her forte is a world-class stage presence, intoxicating voice, and a storytelling style that harkens back to Cab Calloway's stage antics and German Kabarett ‘s political commentary.

In 2017 Young released her 7" single ‘Noir Rockabilly Blues’ produced by Lars Voges-DE featuring 'The Wobble' on the A and Iggy Pop’s 'Lust for Life' on the B side, followed up by her 12” debut ‘Unlovable’ in 2018. The LP was recorded live at Berlin, Germany’s legendary Lightning Recorders, combining beloved covers with originals: 'Unlovable,' 'Violence,' 'Chicks Go Crazy,' 'Blind' and the jazz standard 'Let's Pretend.' Young’s vocal performance and storytelling style bring vintage sounds into modern times.
