Georgia Anne Muldrow (born 1983)[3] is an American soul and hip hop singer, producer, and songwriter from Los Angeles.[4] In 2008, she co-founded the SomeOthaShip Connect record label with fellow artist and former husband Dudley Perkins.[5]

Life and career

Muldrow grew up in a musical environment of her session musician parents, jazz guitarist Ronald Muldrow and singer Rickie Byars.[6][7][8]

In 2006, Muldrow released the debut EP, Worthnothings, on Stones Throw Records.[9] Her first album, Olesi: Fragments of an Earth, was released on the label in that year.[10][11] In 2012, she released Seeds, an album entirely produced by Madlib, on SomeOthaShip Connect.[12] In 2018, she released Overload on Brainfeeder.[13]

Style and influences

In a New York Times article in 2009, rapper Mos Def compared Muldrow's music to Roberta Flack, Nina Simone, and Ella Fitzgerald.[14] AllMusic described her as "one of the most daring and important (albeit underappreciated) artists of her time".[15]
