Gabrielle Ducomble is a Belgian-born vocalist and composer, renowned for her pure, beautiful voice, which combines elegance and powerful emotion. She has earned wide acclaim for her Parisian jazz and tango arrangements, presenting a fresh, contemporary take on iconic songs by the likes of Piaf, Piazzolla, Legrand and Brel, and becoming an ever popular performer in the UK and across Europe.

Ducomble’s latest innovative self-penned album, Across the Bridge, features twelve original compositions in English and her native French. Drawing on her love of jazz, chansons, tango, latin rhythm and new-age, the songs tell of uplifting stories and dreams on themes of nature, art, social justice and ideology.

Gabrielle has embarked on her fifth UK live tour last autumn to promote the new album with her band including guitar virtuoso Nicolas Meier.
