Saskia Cooney

Saskia Cooney's voice crosses genres without effort. She sings over dance tracks, fronts indie-pop anthems and slips into jazz standards, and she adjusts her tone to each so none of them feels borrowed. It's a voice that makes people passing by stop to listen, which counts for a lot at a product launch or a cocktail party. Days Of Doom, a collaboration with her producer friend AJ, earned her a Queensland Music Award. For a night that moves from mellow jazz early on to something danceable later, one singer can carry both.
