Desney Bailey - vocals

Subjectively

I first met her back in 2000 on New Year's eve in Berlin at the Oxymorone club where she was playing with her Jazz quartet. When the idea of 9:30 Collective was brewing in my head, I asked Desney if she might be interested in other music genres, she said of course but she just doesn't have the time to talk about the idea for too long as she is expected to join the DJs at a house party. By this time I suspected that I was pitching the idea to the right person, and as I expected in half a year we had recorded our first tunes. Since then Desney had become more than just a great band member but also a great friend.

According to the facts

Born in New York, but has been living in Berlin for over 10 years, where she has become a known figure of the local music scene. She has worked with numerous successful European, American and Japanese producers for her prolific and diverse style – from acoustic jazz to electronic music. These albums have sold hundreds of thousands of copies, which is a lot to be said for today's electronic jazz albums. Jazzanova, Slope, DJ Jack Flash, Medy Soul, Robert Busha, The Machomovers Team.
