Izo FitzRoy - A Good Woman

London soul singer and songwriter Izo FitzRoy presents her album A Good Woman, a work written together with the artist Sam Walker, at the Sala de Cristal of Teatros del Canal, with a preview of Humour Me.

Izo FitzRoy comes from a family of the British aristocracy and is the granddaughter of a jazz pianist. She began studying piano at the age of seven and, during her training, became interested in American soul and blues influences such as Bill Withers, Otis Redding or Janis Joplin. At the age of nineteen she joined London gospel choirs such as the Soul Sanctuary Gospel Choir and later founded and directed the Great Sea Gospel Choir.

A season in New Orleans, where she collaborated with Jon Cleary and his band The Absolute Monster Gentlemen, strengthened her interest in the roots of traditional gospel and R&B. Her discography began in 2017 with Skyline, inspired by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In 2020 she released How The Mighty Fall, recorded between Paris, London and Sheffield, a work marked by a romantic break-up and surgery on her vocal nodules.

A Good Woman, produced by Oscar de Jong in 2023, revolves around the female role. At Teatros del Canal the artist performs accompanied by her instrumental line-up, playing the repertoire of that album and a preview of Humour Me. The arrangements combine classic soul, funk and choral harmonies.
