A young vocalist & songwriter from California, Allison Wheeler has gotten her professional start in central Europe and is a budding talent on the Czech jazz scene. Wheeler is a versatile singer with a love for creative challenge. She was named “Undergraduate Vocal Soloist of the Year” by Down Beat Magazine in 2018 and most recently had the honor of singing with Lizz Wright on the Prague Sounds Festival 2021. Her music and singing style seamlessly cross genre lines, drawing influence from the likes of Regina Spektor, Norma Winstone, Fiona Apple, Aoife O’Donovan, and others. A storyteller at heart, she uses her jazz and visual art backgrounds to construct a world of her own imagination fueled by improvisation, nostalgia, and a love for impressionism. Her debut album Winterspring, features pianist Daniel Bulatkin (CZ/NL), bassist Max Makagonov (RU/CZ) and drummer Petr Nohavica (CZ), with guests David Dorůžka (CZ) and Luboš Soukup (CZ/DK). The album is set to release July 2022 under the UK based label, Ubuntu Music.
