Bio

Out of a smorgasbord of rock & roll and rhythm and blues from southeast Texas, Napua Davoy’s natural musical talents have been stretched and reconfigured over the years to reveal a serious melange of pianistic and vocal prowess.

She has toured the world as a jazz singer and theatre artist and as one friend stated, the amalgam of her developed talents has created her own art form.

Prior to that Davoy busked in the tubes of London and streets of Germany before hitting the club scenes in Boston and New York.

Davoy's performances have taken her to the far reaches of Australia, the Urals in Russia, Odessa and Murmansk, Ukraine, and the Golden Ring cities around Moscow and St.Petersburg.

She is the recipient of the Red Socks Award presented for Musical Theatre Excellence from the AAPI community in New York.

Davoy's signature way of finishing her sung phrases with her fingers as if the voice and hands are the same instrument adds a fresh and original way among singer pianists. She lithely ventures between genres and subjects, voices and personalities.

For Davoy, there has been no life without music. Already into bossa before even hearing of swing, she landed in a hotbed of activity in the Boston jazz scene - and studied improvisation with Charlie Banacos and Jerry Bergonzi.

Napua has recorded with Lenny White, Charnett Moffett, gigged with Igor Butman, and even roused the police while singing ‘Round Midnight on a terrace at the top of her lungs with Bill Frisell, Mike and Leni Stern.

Davoy's foray into acting began with avant-garde opera, which led her to write and perform a one-woman show about her mother’s Alzheimer’s. She presently records music from HER FIRST REVOLUTION, a musical about the Cuban Revolution and gun violence in America.

It is with great anticipation that Napua releases a new and unique album of French, Portuguese and English songs - a jazz trio album entitled CONFIRMATION.
