ABOUT ESE & The Vooduu People
Fiery songwriter, Ese Okorodudu and her band are inspired by a range of legends, from Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone to Led Zeppelin via The Isley Brothers, Bowie, Prince and Skunk Anansie.
Ese (vocals, guitar) is backed by the incendiary Vooduu People: ex-Noisette Pharoah Russell (drums), Basile Petite (bass) and – since June 2018 – Destra Orsheena “Sheena” Ross on backing vocals. Keyboardist Jackson Baird has also joined the core quartet as a regular collaborator. Signed by independent label Quadrafon Music Industries.
"Boy, so nice to hear ESE & The Vooduu People. So well-played and the guitar tonality and attack is so natural and beautiful, and so well sung, and performed just loose enough. Damn good rockin’ band... a nice hang to hang around when they’re playing. Really cool...” Iggy Pop, Iggy Confidential, BBC Radio 6 Music, 2019
“Ese & The Vooduu People are something brand new. What do they remind me of? Jimi Hendrix!” Cerys Matthews, The Blues Show With Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 2, 2019
"Wonderful, unique sound, lovely guitar, lovely songs, a really great, beautiful voice...” Jools Holland, BBC Radio 2, 2019
