VELVETT

Introducing Velvet, the electrifying dance music duo comprised of Jo Sims and Natali Williams. Born into musical families, with Natali's father being the renowned crooner Danny Williams of 'Moon River' fame and Jo's father the celebrated jazz cornetist Ken Sims, the duo's musical paths intertwined in 2023, marking the genesis of Velvet. Drawing from their shared experiences performing live with their respective fathers and immersing themselves in the Acid House movement, Natali collaborated with icons like Adamski and Felix, touring globally, while Jo developed her talents with acts like The Aloof, Staxx of Joy, and Alabama 3. In 2023, Jo featured on Rich Thair's solo album 'Un' and also showcased her prowess in studio engineering and production, releasing solo material on Dave Jarvis' label 'Pamela', which gained her respect within the industry. Jo's production finesse, influenced by luminaries such as William Orbit, Andrew Weatherall, and Youth, fused seamlessly with Natali's dynamic musical sensibilities, resulting in Velvet's distinctively infectious sound. Their music encapsulates the essence of dance music, transcending genres to create a club-friendly yet deeply resonant body of work.
