About Sunny Ozell
Sunny Ozell (born Dec 23, 1978) is an
American singer and songwriter who currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.
New York Songstress Sunny Ozell
found her voice performing in New York City clubs in front of the most
discerning of audiences. There she honed her sound with elements of jazz,
blues, and American roots as part of the city’s tight-knit musical community.
After over a decade of live shows around New
York, Ozell mastered the art of interpreting works by other songwriters, with
the ability to dig deep to find the true meaning of a song, perhaps even
discovering qualities in them the author never suspected. Her experience
singing blues and jazz, musical forms which demand powerful doses of character
and insight from their performers—led to her debut album, TAKE IT WITH ME (Tagged Pop).
Hailing from Reno, Nevada, Sunny began her
classical vocal training at 10, and became the only child member of the Reno
Opera Company at the age of 12.
Following years of educating herself far and wide musically in Blues, Jazz, Latin music and everything else she could get her hands on, it was her move to New York in 2004 which proved a pivotal moment. Immersing herself in the vibrant music scene of the city, her time there helped to create a sound that’s indebted to the classic songwriting of old, while imbuing it with a fresh, youthful urgency.
