performing 3 sets

Saudia Young is a New York-born actress & singer with caramel whiskey-drenched vocals, boundless stage presence, and a sassy storytelling style. Young is a genre-bending performer. She easily transitions from Rhythm & Blues to Django Swing to Jive.  Young's forte is a world-class stage presence, intoxicating voice, and a storytelling style that harkens back to Cab Calloway's antics and German Kabarett'‘s political commentary.

In 2017 Young released her 7" single ‘Noir Rockabilly Blues’ produced by Lars Vegas-DE featuring 'The Wobble' on the A and Iggy Pop & the Stooges's 'Lust for Life' on the B, followed up by her 12” debut ‘Unlovable’ in 2018. The LP was recorded live at Berlin's legendary Lightning Recorders, combining beloved covers with originals: 'Unlovable,' 'Violence,' 'Chicks Go Crazy,' 'Blind' and the jazz standard 'Let's Pretend, co-wriiten with Florian von Frieling.' Young’s vocal performance and storytelling style bring vintage sounds into modern times.
