For #musicwomenwednesday , I want to highlight Gladys Bentley, an American #blues singer, #pianist, and entertainer during the Harlem Renaissance.
I drew and foiled this #portrait as a part of a series of 18 #portraits that I #donated to the SF LGBT Center last year, highlighting #lgbtq icons from past and present.
The Artist for today is:
Maria do Céu Whitaker Poças, known professionally as Céu born 17 April 1980), is a Brazilian singer-songwriter whose first American album was released on the Six Degrees Records label in April 2007.
At fifteen, she decided to become a musician and by her late teens, she studied music theory, as well as the violão (a nylon-stringed Brazilian guitar). Her songs reveal many influences, which include samba, salsa, choro, soul, rhythm and blues, hip hop, afrobeat, and electrojazz music. She cites as influences the music of African-Americans Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, and Jorge Ben.
Talking of the always amazing Chelsea Wolfe, I just want to remind you that she has a song with another amazing artist, probably my most favourite as of now and for whom I also have tickets this summer, Emma. 🖤🖤
