Charlotte Cannon

Charlotte Cannon is a Manchester-born British avant-garde artist. Her music is described as drawing on the atmosphere of older jazz singers such as Eartha Kitt and Nina Simone, while also carrying the eccentricity associated with artists such as Tom Waits and Björk. The result is presented as evocative and sultry, though she is also described as an artist with her own distinct identity rather than someone defined by comparisons to others.
