“Deeply soulful, wonderfully honest” - The Times

Born in London and raised in Hastings, Liane Carroll has been playing the piano since she was three. Her singing and piano playing have made her well known the around the world. Liane has been performing as a professional pianist and singer since the age of fifteen. She has toured and recorded with artists such as Gerry Rafferty, Ladysmith Black Mombasa and Paul McCartney.

"Without a doubt one of my all time favourites. She has a remarkable delivery, powerful and soulful but at the same time she can sing a ballad to make you cry. And a personality to die for (one of the most entertaining performers we have here)."
- Steve Rubie, 606 Jazz Club, London

Liane won the BEST VOCALIST and the BEST OF JAZZ Award at the BBC Jazz Awards 2005. She is the only person ever to win two awards in one year. In 2006 she won BEST VOCALIST at the Marstons Pedigree British Jazz Awards and in 2007 she was awarded best female vocalist at the first Ronnie Scotts Jazz Awards.
