Tiombe’s stylistic influences include Betty Carter, Nina Simone, Portishead, PJ Harvey, ESG, and the production mechanics of The Rza and DJ Premiere. Her singing style is reminiscent of classic female jazz and lounge performances with a more modern and grimy hip-hop backbeat. She explores the counterbalance between her sweet and sexy stage presence and a more lo-fi urban musical edge. At once dark and poetic, oft times whimsical and ironic, Tiombe’s music reflects a complicated youthful soul whose expression leaves an audience looking for more.
