Nancy Ponto is an Indonesian rising voice whose distinctive range and expressive delivery are setting her apart on the contemporary jazz scene. Rooted in jazz yet open to exploration beyond its traditional boundaries, she brings a modern sensibility to the music while preserving its emotional depth and nuance.

Drawing inspiration from classic jazz voices and instrumentalists, Nancy shapes her sound through lyrical phrasing, a warm tonal palette, and fluid improvisation. Her repertoire moves naturally between classic and smooth jazz, with subtle touches of soul, pop, and R&B—resulting in a style that feels both accessible and distinctly personal.

On stage, Nancy’s performances are intimate and emotionally grounded. Whether interpreting a tender ballad or a groove-driven piece, she connects instinctively with her audience, creating a sense of warmth, reflection, and quiet intensity. Her strength lies not only in her range, but in her ability to tell a story through each carefully shaped phrase.

As one of Indonesia’s most compelling emerging jazz artists, Nancy Ponto represents a new generation shaping the future of the genre—thoughtful, expressive, and ideally suited to the close, attentive setting of the jazz-club stage.
