Audrey Powne

Lauded by legendary BBC Radio 6 presenter and tastemaker Gilles Peterson, From The Fire showcases Powne’s unique style—from hook-laden synth-pop to long-form cinematic soundscapes, RnB ballads to free jazz improvisations—there are few genres Powne has not touched and her creative inventiveness for being unafraid of pushing the boundaries while simultaneously keeping musical traditions alive. 

Audrey released her debut album “From the Fire” in April 2024 on the legendary UK jazz and soul label BBE (Barely Breaking Even) to critical acclaim. The self produced and composed record has been praised for its cinematic string arrangements, virtuosic trumpet solos, lyrical melodies and intelligent lyricism.

As well as her solo work, Audrey's prominence and virtuosity as a trumpeter has seen her perform with acts as diverse as Maceo Parker, Midnight Oil, Jimmy Barnes, Jose Gonzalez, Masta Ace and she is the resident trumpeter, regularly touring the world with the Grammy nominated band The Teskey Brothers.

Her musical inspiration is equally far-reaching, with influences ranging from Miles Davis, Betty Carter and Herbie Hancock right through to Roy Hargrove, Meshell Ndegeocello and D’Angelo.
