Sanchia’s voice is a fusion of velvet lower tones and huskiness, making her the distinctive tenor; her voice is layered, with still so much potential to reach! Complimentary to her voice is her vast array of musical and producer influences from the greats such as Nina Simone, Billie Holiday and Donny Hathaway
Soul and R&B influences like Fleetwood Mac, Tame Impala, Lauryn Hill, H.E.R and…
…as well as hip-hop groups such as Tribe Called Quest and the contemporary artists in the UK music scene such as Blood Orange, Dave, Stormzy, Arlow Parks. There is a lot!

A unique ‘boot camp’ has been set up in the West Midlands to train black women to become software developers.
The aim is to increase digital skills and help create a more diverse workforce in technology, a traditionally male-dominated industry. It has been put together by two start-ups run by black women; NIYO Enterprise and Coding Black Females. They secured funding of £250,000 from the West Midlands Combined Authority Digital Retraining Fund.
The free, six-month, part-time course is designed for women over-18 who are unemployed or employed with a salary below £20,000.
Originally it was intended for 40 women, but after more than 300 applied, 50 are now taking part.
