Ineza's Starlight Club

Ineza's star is rising rapidly in the world of Jazz. A Rwandan-born Belgian vocalist, Ineza has firmly established herself as a powerful and expressive artist on the UK Jazz scene. Since graduating from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, she has become an in-demand vocalist with a distinctive voice that has captured the attention of critics and audiences alike. “IBUKA” is Ineza's debut full-length album, a deeply personal and musically adventurous project dedicated to her adoptive mother, Francine. Drawing on her journey from Rwanda to Belgium and now London, Ineza channels themes of loss, healing and personal growth into eight original songs, each shaped by her emotionally charged vocals and honest storytelling. The album builds on the foundations of contemporary jazz, blending in neo-soul, folk, and soul influences. Ineza’s writing combines rich jazz harmonies with memorable, heartfelt lyrics. The interplay between her voice and saxophone creates a unique conversational dynamic, while improvisation from the band ensures each track feels alive and immediate. “IBUKA” is a striking introduction to one of the UK jazz scene’s most distinctive new voices. "The first abiding impression of Ineza, is quite how good and how gentle her way with songs can be" Sebastian Scotney, UK Jazz News “A musician that brings something distinct, remarkable and exciting…" Cerys Matthews BBC Radio 2 

Behind the doors of Jack Solomons Jazz Club, The Piano Bar sits quietly in the back — equal parts recording studio and late-night hideout. By day, it’s where music is made. By night, it slips into something smoother: low lighting, sharp cocktails, and live jazz so close you’ll feel every note. It’s not open to passers-by — entry’s by booking, ticket, or membership only.
