Mobile since her birth in Singapore, saxophonist, composer, and vocalist Caroline Davis's expression covers a wide range of styles, owed to her shifting environment as a child. From angular, melody-present instrumental outfits to soulful, quirky song writing, Caroline's persona is recognizably present. As an improviser and saxophonist, she has released six albums under her name and has won Downbeat's Critic's Poll Rising Star.
