Immy is a true improviser, “as if creating a new, fresh and flowing vocal line is the most natural thing in the world” (Sebastian Scotney, UK Jazz News 2025). She often writes and performs lyrics for instrumental compositions, showcasing her skill as a lyricist. Alongside performing, she has been developing her own songwriting, curating The Downstairs Living Room Series at The Vortex Jazz Club as a platform for her original work.

Immy Churchill combines her skills as a jazz vocalist, singer-songwriter, lyricist, and educator. She graduated from The Royal Academy of Music in 2024 with a First in Jazz Vocals and the Academy’s Regency Award for dedication to her craft. Described by London Jazz News as a “rising star,” she was a finalist in the Tina May Young Jazz Musician Award in 2025 when she also became a 2025 City Music Foundation Artist. Immy is establishing herself on the London jazz scene, performing at Pizza Express Live, The Vortex, Ronnie Scott’s, Kings Place, and The Green Note to date. She looks forward to expanding her performances and audiences in different venues to share her music.

She is a committed and experienced ‘side-person’ and since 2023 has already toured Germany and Switzerland, performing with Lukas DeRungs’ quintet and the Jazz-Choir Freiburg in the Kosmos Suite. She has also been a member of Florian Arbenz’s band, sharing the stage with acclaimed musicians including Jim Hart, Percy Pursglove, Szymon Mika, Greg Osby, Christy Doran, and Ivo Neame. Recording highlights include Emma Rawicz’s ACT-released album Chroma, featuring Ivo Neame, Ant Law, Asaf Sirkis, and Conor Chaplin, with a release performance at The Jazz Cafe.

Immy’s debut solo releases, Give Me Time To Breathe and Fall Awake (released summer 2025), marks a new chapter in her artistic journey to establish herself as one of the most distinctive voices emerging in contemporary jazz.
