As we approach Art Basel, we are featuring brands that redefine art and design. First up is Olfactory NYC, a revolutionary new concept in modern fine fragrance founded by JJ Vittoria in 2017. Curated by the world's top perfumers, using the highest quality natural and sustainable ingredients found in the finest luxury brands, the passionate team at Olfactory NYC eliminates the guesswork behind choosing a “signature scent” by allowing customers to create their own personalized fragrance. When visiting an Olfactory NYC studio, the customer experience is fun and accessible, and includes smelling a selection of 9 core, gender-neutral fragrances and choosing a favorite to customize. Based on one’s preferences, the scentologists will then guide one through the process of layering a variety of different fragrance accords to each core scent until one discovers their perfect blend. The custom scent is then freshly bottled, and clients can choose the fragrance's bottle color and handstamped label name. In addition to core and custom fragrance, Olfactory NYC offers travel sprays, body wash, body lotion, rinse-free hand wash, and soy-blend candles in many of the same scents as the core fragrances. Olfactory NYC also offers the option to create custom scents at home. The three-step process is designed to mimic the in-store experience, and includes an “Explorer Box” shipment, which includes the 9 core scents, followed by a “Tinkerer Box” with the accords to add to the core scents, and finally after creating the custom scent, a Full Size Custom Fragrance is delivered. Additionally, Olfactory NYC offers traditional Gift Cards and Gift Bottles, which recipients may redeem in-store by creating their personalized fragrance, complete with a custom handstamped label. "At Olfactory NYC, we focus on fragrance. Using only the highest quality ingredients, sourced and created by some of the world’s top perfumers, we bottle and blend our scents fresh at our scent studios. We also know your fragrance is personal. Guided by our on site scent mixologists, our customers are invited to customize their fragrances. Harnessing the genius and passion of master perfumers to create something uniquely yours. Olfactory NYC is a new concept in fine fragrance.

In celebration of Art Basel Miami and Miami Art Week, Miami Living brings you seven visionary artists who have contributed to the ever-evolving world of contemporary art, pushing the boundaries of creativity and artistic value. Photo by Christie's “I fight pain, anxiety, and fear every day, and the only method I have found that relieves my illness is to keep creating art,” remarks renowned painter and sculptor Yayoi Kusama, one of the luminaries featured on Miami Living’s esteemed artist list. This serves as a reminder that in today’s chaotic world, creativity and artistic expression can be powerful healing tools. David Hockney David Hockney, a renowned British artist, has made significant contributions to contemporary art over the years. In 1972, he created “Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures),” a masterpiece that would later become a record-breaking artwork. In 2018, David Hockney’s iconic “Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)” achieved the status of the most expensive painting by a living artist. This masterpiece was sold for a staggering $90.3 million after an intense bidding battle. David Hockney is known for his versatility, having explored various art forms, including painting, photography, and digital art, throughout his career. “What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn’t be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.” – David Hockney © David Hockney, “Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures.” Image courtesy of Christie’s Sacha Jafri Sacha Jafri, a British artist, achieved international acclaim for his extraordinary creation, “Journey of Humanity,” which is recognized by the Guinness World Records as the largest painting on canvas. This monumental masterpiece was meticulously crafted over a period of seven months in 2020, a time marked by the global upheaval caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was completed in Dubai. Sacha Jafri created ‘The Journey of Humanity,’ which is the largest canvas in the world, consisting of 70 panels measuring over 17,000 square feet, equivalent to four NBA basketball courts. In 2021, this remarkable artwork was sold for an astonishing $62 million, establishing itself as the third-highest price ever paid for a piece of art by a living artist. It remains the largest canvas in the world known to date.” Sacha Jafri’s artistic career is marked by a commitment to philanthropy and a departure from the traditional art gallery system. He is renowned for generously donating many of his works and the proceeds from their sale to various charitable endeavors. His distinguished list of collectors includes prominent figures such as Barack Obama, members of the British royal family, Sir Richard Branson, Paul McCartney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Gates, Madonna, David Beckham, George Clooney, and Eva Longoria. The Journey of Humanity by Sacha Jafri. Image courtesy of Humanity Inspired Jasper Johns Jasper Johns, born on May 15, 1930, is a multifaceted American artist renowned for his contributions to abstract expressionism, Neo-Dada, and pop art. He is most celebrated for his iconic representations of the American flag, alongside other everyday objects and symbols, including targets, maps, letters, and numbers. Over the course of his career, his creations have repeatedly fetched record-breaking prices for living artists. Johns has been the recipient of numerous prestigious accolades, notably the National Medal of Arts in 1990 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011. In recognition of his artistic prowess, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1973 and the American Philosophical Society in 2007. In a testament to his enduring influence, The New York Times hailed him as the preeminent living artist in the United States in 2018. Johns had created over 40 iterations of his iconic American flag artwork. Notably, a specific rendition dating back to 1958 became part of the collection of Steven A. Cohen, an American hedge fund manager. In 2010, Cohen purchased the rendition for approximately $110 million, making it the most expensive artwork ever sold by a living artist. Jasper Johns is one of the co-founders of the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. He presently resides and creates his art in Connecticut. “Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it.” Jasper Johns is known for his reclusive lifestyle and rarely makes public appearances, letting his art speak for itself.

Jeff Koons Renowned American artist Jeff Koons is famed for crafting artworks that consistently elicit both polarizing opinions and controversy. Celebrated for his creative work, Koons adeptly integrates elements of popular culture into his sculptures, reimagining everyday objects. Notably, he expertly fashions balloon animals from stainless steel, rendering them with mirror-like surfaces. He continues to split his time between New York City and his hometown. Koons’ creations have commanded substantial prices at auctions, with two notable records for a living artist: his piece “Balloon Dog (Orange)” fetched an impressive $58.4 million in 2013, while “Rabbit” achieved an even higher sum of $91.1 million in 2019. Critics’ opinions on Koons’ work vary widely. Some herald it as groundbreaking and a significant contribution to art history, while others dismiss it as kitsch, vulgar, and driven by commercial motives. Koons himself has asserted that his artworks lack concealed meanings or critiques. “I’ve always enjoyed feeling a connection to the avant-garde, such as Dada and Surrealism and Pop Art.” – Jeff Koons © Jeff Koons, Balloon Venus, Image courtesy of Pace Gallery Yayoi Kusama Kusama Yayoi, born on March 22, 1929, is a prominent Japanese contemporary artist known for her diverse artistic pursuits. While her primary focus is on sculpture and installation, she also actively engages in painting, performance, video art, fashion, poetry, fiction, and various other forms of artistic expression. Her body of work is rooted in conceptual art and exhibits elements of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, Art Brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism. It is characterized by its autobiographical, psychological, and sexual themes. Kusama Yayoi is widely recognized as one of the most significant contemporary artists to emerge from Japan. She holds the distinction of being the world’s top-selling female artist and is hailed as the most successful living artist globally. Her artistic contributions have left a lasting impact on her contemporaries, influencing the likes of Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg. The “Kusama Pumpkin” or “LPASG” (Large Pumpkin, All the Small Pumpkins Gathered) is one of Yayoi Kusama’s most iconic and recognizable artworks. It was auctioned at Sotheby’s in Hong Kong on December 1, 2021, for $8 million. The 94-year-old artist made another landmark accomplishment, with five of her artworks selling for a total of $22.9 million at a Sotheby’s auction in Hong Kong earlier this year. Kusama Pumpkin/LPASG, Image courtesy of Phillips Auctioneers, LLC Jenny Saville Jennifer (Jenny) Anne Saville is a contemporary British painter known for her large-scale depictions of nude women with an innovative approach to painting the female nude and reinvigorating figure painting. Her work draws inspiration from pathology textbooks, focusing on injuries, bruises, burns, and deformities. She collaborates with models who have undergone cosmetic surgery to explore the concept of reclaiming the body from personality and capturing the “marks of personality for the flesh.” John Gray describes her work as an exploration of how individuals can shape their own lives through their bodies. In November 2018, the American Jenny Saville made both art world and feminist history when she became the most valuable living female artist in the world. “Propped,” oil on canvas, painted in 1992, was sold by Sotheby’s in London for $12.4 million. The painting, a self-portrait that challenges the stereotypes of female beauty. “Human perception of the body is so acute and knowledgeable that the smallest hint of a body can trigger recognition,” – Jenny Saville. Jenny Saville’s self-portrait “Propped” challenges beauty stereotypes and sold for $12.4 million in 2018. Mike Winkelmann (Beeple) In May 2007, the digital artist Mike Winkelmann, also known as Beeple, set out to create and post a new work of art online every day. Beeple achieved this feat, creating a new digital picture each day for 5,000 days straight. Individually known as “Everydays,” collectively, the pieces form the core of “Everydays: the First 5000 Days,” one of the most unique bodies of work to emerge in the history of digital art. On March 11, 2021, Beeple’s “Everydays: the First 5000 Days” made history by selling for $69.3 million at Christie’s. This sale set multiple records, including being the most expensive digital artwork ever sold, the third-highest price paid for a work by a living artist, the highest price for any lot in any online-only auction, the highest price for any winning bid placed online, and the highest total for any online-only auction. Beeple’s works highlight the growing significance of digital art in the global art market. “Everydays: the First 5000 Days”, by Beeple - Image courtesy of Christie’s One of the 5,000 images featured in “Everydays: the First 5000 Days”.

The Valo Hyperfoil is a two-person electric foiling PWC (personal watercraft) that seamlessly combines an exhilarating experience with visionary design The new technology offers a wide array of benefits including a super smooth ride in chop, excellent range and endurance as well as an exciting flying experience unique to foiling craft The Valo Hyperfoil will offer thrilling ‘hyperformance’ while remaining safe and easy to handle thanks to proprietary active stabilization software With retracting foils, the Valo Hypefoil is easy launched and transportable on a standard trailer Reimagined and enhanced design has been revealed at FLIBS 2023 Tech start-up Valo has revealed more details of its revolutionary new personal watercraft, the Valo Hyperfoil, unveiling it at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show (25-29 October). This unique new product has already seen immense demand from consumers, with the limited production run of Founders Edition vehicles to be built in 2024 already being oversubscribed by 300%. The general production run is scheduled for 2025 with pre-orders currently open. The Valo Hyperfoil is a two-person, high-performance, all-electric thrill ride that marks the evolution of the jet ski. Having moved from concept to first prototype in a matter of months, the rapid pace of development matches the scintillating performance and handling that it offers riders. The craft features a twin-foil setup with a 45kW drive motor and proprietary Skyride flight stabilization system. Inspired engineering It’s a dream that Ed Kearney – the company’s founder and CEO – has held since childhood when his father showed him a video of an early foiler. “I was about 12 or 13 years old, and my dad – who was an inventor kind of guy – showed me this video of some MIT students who had built a pedal-powered hydrofoil boat that broke the world record for a human-powered boat because it was so efficient,” Kearney says. “I remember asking myself, why aren’t all boats like this? Here is a technology that can completely revolutionize how we transport things on the water by making them ten times more efficient and incredibly comfortable at the same time”. Born and raised in Australia and studying engineering before moving to California seven years ago, Kearney noticed that there was not much in the way of commercial hydrofoil development. “So I said why don’t we just do this? I wanted to create something no one else was making, because it was captivating and the world needed it.” Taking flight It is these cues from other industries, and drawing on the expertise of people like pioneering foiling naval architect Paul Bieker who serves as a consulting designer on Valo’s designs, that have led to the rapid development of the Valo Hyperfoil. The team – which was joined in early 2023 by CTO Reo Baird, a tech entrepreneur and boat fanatic who had previously been developing foiling boats with the company Navier – moved from concept to prototype in just six months, showing not only the pace and flexibility of an agile start-up but also proving that the concept was built on rock-solid design and engineering principles. Since then, the team has tweaked the design to further enhance the experience for riders, moving to a twin-foil canard system for the foils aligned fore and aft on the centreline, and with the aft strut also housing the shaft-driven propulsion unit. The new design has resulted in 33% less strut drag than the alpha prototype while conferring improved stability and agility, and an increased maximum bank angle. Anhedral (swept-down) wings now deliver 30% more roll authority and contribute to the improved max bank angle. Technological two-step At the core of the Valo Hyperfoil’s performance is the clever foil package and shaft driven propulsion system, which can propel the craft at a max speed of 35 knots while offering over two hours of endurance, good for more than 60 miles on a single charge. When combined with the proprietary Skyride active stabilization software, the Valo Hyperfoil represents a double step forward in marine mobility. Skyride is developed fully in-house and has the role of keeping the vehicle stable as it slices through the water and waves. Hydrofoil vehicles are inherently unstable and hard to control since their center of gravity is very high above the point of support, just like walking on long stilts or riding a unicycle - balancing something very top heavy is hard. Added to that, the vehicle has to operate very close to the surface of the water without going too high or too low. Skyride solves this by combining data from various sensors around the Valo Hyperfoil and using aerospace derived algorithms to deliver hundreds of micro-adjustments per second to the various mechanical actuators that control the craft to keep it stable and agile. “The Valo Hyperfoil is fully computer stabilized, and when you turn it enters into what’s called a coordinated banked turn,” CTO Reo Baird explains. “Think of it exactly like when a plane banks and turns, you don’t feel you are being pushed out of the turn and your coffee doesn’t spill because the forces run straight up and down through your vertical axis. This is how the Valo Hyperfoil turns using the Skyride software, and it’s truly exhilarating – and it allows for tight, highly precise turns. Making it feel good is not that straightforward – it’s something we’ve worked on a lot and it's something we’ve solved!” The software also allows for various modes – normal and sport, for example – while including full safety features. “The sport mode is designed to deliver much more exhilaration with sharper and harder handling,” says Baird, “but there are also lots of safety elements at the limit to make sure you can’t roll the Valo Hyperfoil over or crash. The software does have a more controlled hand in how the Valo Hyperfoil behaves,” he adds, “but we also want to make sure the driver feels like he is controlling the vehicle. It’s not like using cruise control on a car – it’s heavily weighted to the inputs on steering and throttle from the rider but while maintaining full stability to keep it safe. It’s a very delicate balance and it’s one I think we’ve struck perfectly.” Practical magic Central to the ethos of the Valo Hyperfoil is not only to make it as thrilling and as enjoyable as possible, but also to focus on reliability, robustness and practicality. What this means in practice is that construction will draw on high-quality parts, from carbon fiber, titanium and stainless steel for the body construction to selecting known suppliers for the components – the battery system and electric motor, for example, are being sourced from experienced manufacturers in the US and UK respectively. Further, the team has considered how the Valo Hyperfoil is likely to be used when designing key elements. Not only is the Valo Hyoerfoil trailerable on a standard rig, it can also be beached just like a conventional jet ski thanks to a lifting front canard – the foil slots into a recess in the hull – and a rear strut that tils similar to an outboard, allowing for shallow water propulsion. “It may not seem as simple as having a vertical lifting rear element,” says Kearney, “but the truth is those vertical lifting struts with drive elements can be a nightmare for jamming down or up. Our solution is both highly reliable and highly practical, which means riders can focus fully on the fun without fear of something going wrong.” What’s more, the nod to sustainable boating with zero emissions, noise and wake means Valo Hyoerfoil riders will be able to explore places that other personal watercraft can’t access – and be able to do so without disturbing other people in the same area. This, perhaps, is as much the leap forward in personal water mobility as the design and hyperformance of the Valo Hyperfoil itself. Future present As Valo Hyperfoil moves toward production, with delivery of the first Founder’s Edition models scheduled for 2024, the company is celebrating the pre-launch success of their creation – they have taken more than US$3.3 million in advance orders already. They are also well into the development of a new product range for boat builders so they can easily enter the electric foiling era. “It very much feels like the dawn of a new age for the marine industry” said Baird “ It’s clearly the right time and place for the marine industry to make this move forward toward a new type of marine mobility” “It’s clean, with zero emissions, zero noise and zero wake; it’s fun, because you can enjoy exhilarating hyperformance in a wide range of sea conditions; it’s safe and comfortable because the Skyride software takes care of everything; and it’s practical, because you can do everything and go anywhere a conventional jet ski can go, and more besides,” Baird concludes. “It’s the future, and it’s right here, right now. We’re very excited to be moving into the production phase, and from the number of orders we’ve already received I think there are a lot of excited people out there too.” “The Future is Foiling” according to Kearney. About Valo Valo is a marine technology start-up backed by the accelerator Y Combinator, Fifty Years, as well as Chris Sacca's Lower Carbon Capital and former Meta CTO Mike Schroepfer. Their mission is to build the future of clean water transportation by using hydrofoil technology. For more information: www.ridevalo.com By ML staff. Images courtesy of Valo.

America’s leading menswear designer, Todd Snyder, has opened his first retail location in Miami at the world-renowned Bal Harbour Shops. As a New York City-based brand, Todd Snyder has spent the past twelve years solidifying its presence as a New York retail institution. Snyder’s decision to expand to Miami was a very strategic one and is part of a national expansion that began in 2021 after the brand announced plans to open fifteen stores across major metropolitan markets. A New Chapter in American Menswear “We’ve taken our time expanding outside the New York Metro market and have been very strategic when choosing new locations by carefully assessing each city and where our key demographic is more apt to shop,” says Todd. “We’ve spent a lot of time growing our customers here and know there is still an endless opportunity to attract a fresh new audience locally and internationally. Bal Harbour Shops is a retail institution and we are honored to join the ranks of other premiere luxury brands here.” The 2,700-square-foot shop is located at Bal Harbour Shops and will serve as a one-stop-shop for all your wardrobe needs and as a destination for discovery for locals and travelers to experience the world of Todd Snyder. When designing the space, Todd used his signature mid-century meets utility interior aesthetic and updated it with a fresh new look for Miami. “I design all of my stores with the intent of transporting the customer into my world. For me, that means mid-century influences with a utilitarian twist and of course, attention to quality and craftsmanship.” says Snyder. “We spent a lot of time meticulously selecting every detail, while honoring the rich history of design that Miami continues to influence.” The storefront is eye-catching floor-to-ceiling tiles, manufactured by a London-based company, in a custom green–accented by custom solid walnut and glass doors. Upon entering you are greeted by a coastal neutral palette, accented with the bold colors of Miami. The space is illuminated by light fixtures from Roman and Williams Guild, highlighting custom-built stained oak lower walls and white-painted board and batten walls and archways. The upper walls are finished in custom Portola finished plaster and the floors complete with custom terrazzo tile floors with accents of Todd’s signature Snyder Olive. The rear of the space displays a hand carved walnut cash wrap and stocked bar, adorned with carrera marble and brass display showcasing one-of-a-kind vintage watches & jewelry sourced by NYC based brand Foundwell. The walnut paneling continues into the fitting rooms, accented by ratan wallpaper and coffered ceilings. Todd partnered with design duo Jeanne Martin-Taton and Marie-Marie Vergne of Les Crafties, the Brussels-based design studio, to develop custom hand-finished curtains portraying abstract scenes inspired by the Miami coastline using fabric sourced from interior designer Rose Uniacke of London. As with every location, Todd’s signature attention to detail is evident in the finishing touches. Each room balances utility-inspired details with rare mid-century furniture and artwork, sourced from places around the world like Corey Daniels Gallery in Maine, Hudson, NY based dealers Finch and The 1818 Collective. The rooms are accented with tabletops of rare books available for purchase and rugs from NYC-based ABC Carpet & Home. The assortment is the very best of the brand’s signature Americana style, from re-engineered American classics, refined tailoring, utility inspired workwear and sportswear. Todd’s iconic suede Dylan Jacket, will sit alongside stacks of Japanese and Made in USA Denim, to Made in L.A. tees and luxe essentials like swimwear, Portuguese linen, Italian Cashmere, Italian Sportcoats and luxe Italian tailoring. The Americana aesthetic is not complete without a hand curated selection of third-party brands and exclusive collaborations, like their long standing collaboration with Champion Sportswear, D.S. & Durga, Bennett Winch travel, and a shoe shop featuring iconic American brands like New Balance, Vans, Converse, Alden and more. The space will also highlight Todd’s longtime partnership with Aesop, with a shop-in-shop of high-quality apothecary products. “As we expand into key growth markets, the design of our stores and how they support our sales goals are extremely important. A Todd Snyder store will bring consumers into the world of Todd Snyder, showcasing our attention to quality and crafting, adding in hospitality aspects or partnering with brands like Aesop to open shop-in-shops within our stores.” says Todd. “We are strategic about using our shops as a hub for goods and services that will naturally bring people through the door and convert them into a Todd Snyder customer.” This location offers same-day courier services, private shopping appointments and stylist studio services. Todd Snyder at Bal Harbour Shops is now open to the public.

After a much-anticipated wait, the glow of Luminosa is back, brighter, and bolder at Jungle Island, Miami's premier entertainment destination. This luminous spectacle, unfolding from November 21, 2023, to February 28, 2024, in collaboration with the acclaimed Zigong Lantern Group, promises to be a dazzling and immersive art experience. "Luminosa's renaissance is set to ignite the imagination of visitors with its vibrant, giant silk installations,” said Jeremy Hauwelaert, President & CEO of Jungle Island. “These three-dimensional art pieces, crafted with delicate precision by Chinese artisans and brought to life by LED lights, showcase not only incredible craftsmanship but also the sheer beauty of our tropical surroundings after sundown." The festival brings a glow-up to Miami nights with over 40 expansive, hand-crafted massive lantern scenes, displaying an explosion of color and light against the park's lush, tropical backdrop. The displays are intricate and hypnotic, each meticulously created by over 150 artisans, using a staggering 120 tons of steel, 150,000 feet of silk, 43,600 LED bulbs, and 500,000 feet of LED strips. At this nighttime activation, guests are surrounded by grand artworks and brilliantly designed lighting displays that revolve around the world's most unforgettable and enigmatic themes. Luminosa offers visitors an ancient cultural experience, unraveling stories of legends and heroes from various lost civilizations. In the Jungle Animalia section, one can stroll amongst a menagerie of oversized, lifelike flora and fauna. From spectacular parrots, flamingos, and butterflies to a stealthy leopard and elephant, these creatures of light add a fantastical layer to the natural inhabitants of Jungle Island. The alluring Atlantis installation mesmerizes with a towering Neptune, trident in hand, and its sunken palaces and marine wonders that emerge from the depths, painting tales of a city lost yet remembered. The ancient Chinese civilization, marked by its stoic terracotta warriors and intricate dragon tunnels, serves as a bridge to a time of emperors and dynasties. The journey culminates with a celebration of Latin American legends, where the rich narratives of Maya culture and the exuberance of Día de los Muertos celebrations are portrayed through a vivid interplay of light and tales. Each scene is painstakingly crafted in radiant detail. Visitors traverse a 1.35-mile trail, encountering luminous installations that are as interactive as they are awe-inspiring. Beyond the display, Jungle Island enhances the experience with diverse amenities such as photo zones, shopping bazaars, live acrobatic performances, and an array of food and drink options. This exhibition showcases the Zigong Lantern Group's pinnacle of intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship. By marrying traditional methods with contemporary techniques, the group has brought to life stunning designs using welded steel rod frames, silk fabric, and airbrush painting. The lanterns are lit using energy-efficient LED lights. The entire production spanned seven months, with a dedicated team of 25 artisans now finalizing the on-site installation. Justin Corsa, Chief of the Board & CEO of Zigong Lantern Group, shared his enthusiasm: "We're thrilled to bring the wonder of Luminosa back to Miami after a long hiatus. We've raised the bar even higher than our previous event in 2019, and we're proud to unveil an even more spectacular showcase for 2023. This year's festival features four immersive themed sections - the mystical Atlantis, an exotic Jungle kingdom, and a journey through ancient civilizations, including the vibrant tales of ancient Latin culture. For anyone in Miami, this is an unmissable event.” Opening to the public on Tuesday, Nov. 21, Jungle Island is excited to invite guests to explore the radiant world of Luminosa, available Sunday to Thursday, 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., and on Friday & Saturday, 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. This event provides an enchanting outing perfect for families, friends, romantic date nights or anyone seeking a one-of-kind holiday lighting display.

Award-winning, internationally acclaimed vocalist Nicole Henry, who has called Miami home since attending the University of Miami, has set Dec. 5th at the Colony Theater for her annual winter concert. Celebrating 10 years of benefiting nonprofits in the area this year she has again aligned with two organizations that are close to her heart -- SAVE and the Miami Music Project. Nicole Henry stated: “I so look forward to this concert each year. As a performer, it is important to me to give back to the community.

It is a privilege to be associated with them as we celebrate our tenth anniversary and begin the holiday season.” SAVE PRESENTS MIAMI’S OWN WORLD-RENOWNED VOCALIST NICOLE HENRY’S 10TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY WINTER CONCERT A Decade for the Divas TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5TH, 2023 COLONY THEATRE 1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, 33139 Showtime 7:30 PM Tickets $35, $60 $125 includes VIP reception at 6 PM Concert to Benefit SAVE and Miami Music Project For Tickets: www.tinyurl.com/NH2023WinterConcert More information www.nicolehenry.com or 305-674-1040 For her 10th Anniversary Annual Concert, DECADE OF THE DIVAS, Nicole will pay homage to The Divas that we know and love: Diana, Ella, Barbra, Donna, Chaka, Doris, Whitney, Dame Shirley, Tina and more.

The New York Times, Miami Herald, and Jazz Times Magazine have compared Nicole Henry to Sarah Vaughan, Whitney Houston, and Natalie Cole for her dynamic range, impeccable phrasing, and bluesy gospel style. Whether burning through a swing tune or gently caressing a ballad, she truly makes each song uniquely her own and “aims right for the emotional center.” (Billboard). The New York Times raved, “I had the sense of being in the presence of a pop-soul superwoman whose every gesture and inflection conveyed confidence and mastery music, so abandoned is her joy that you can't watch her without being drawn in.” Henry also remains a vocal leader in the jazz world with her latest album “Time to Love Again” reaching #4 on the U.S.JazzWeek Radio Chart and remaining in the TOP 40 for 20 weeks. Among her numerous accolades, Henry received the Soul Train Award for “Best Traditional Jazz Performance," “Best New Jazz Artist” by HMV Japan, and “Best Solo Musician” by the Miami New Times.
