​

Rouhangeze is a contemporary multi-genre singer-songwriter, and composer born and bred on the beautiful and all intoxicating island of Mauritius.

With ease, soul, and versatility, her velvet vocal tones reflect the emotion and beauty of her homeland, in a smooth ascension of melody, technique, and heart. Her timing and delivery of phrases create an unforgettable feeling of joy in the listener.

Every nuance articulates a dynamic story that grabs your attention and makes you want to hear where she will take you next.

​

She is a multi-faceted artist and holistic vocal therapist. With real depth and hypnotizing sensuality, this artist stands out from the crowd.

​

She moved to London in 2009 to further pursue her career in music, studying Music Business and Artist Management to expand her knowledge of the industry, production, and performance.
 

Rouhangeze joined the UK's JazzFM family in 2021, hosting "Jazz Odyssey" broadcasting live every Friday night. The show explored the musical cross-pollination of jazz and beyond, celebrating unity in diversity. Since 2024, she has now taken over the award-winning "Jazz Travels" over from the legendary Sarah Ward, every Tuesday at 9pm UK time. 

​

Rouhangeze is also now the host of "Soundshift" on OneJazz Global Network (www.onejazz.net). 

 

In 2021 she was included in the She Said So - Alternative Power 100 Music List. This list celebrates those at the forefront of this new era for the music industry which has been ushered in by independent creators, and entrepreneurs breaking down the barriers that have limited their success in the past.

​

On the occasion of the annual economic forums Women In Africa on the 8th of March 2021 celebrating the International Women's Day, she represented Mauritius and its islands at the "Mamas Benz" exhibition in the magnificent museum of Wuhan in China, a collaboration with the Consulate of France and artist-photographer Floriane de Lassée who travels every year to meet African women from the diaspora. She produced portraits of herself and of exceptional women who are leaders in various fields and "young shoots" in search of "business angels".

In 2022, Rouhangeze joined The Third Orchestra as a composer, singer and co-artistic director. The Third Orchestra is a ground-breaking, an inclusive, multi-cultural orchestra which sets out to dissolve boundaries between cultures and build acoustic bridges between style and genre. With a unique methodology, the sound of the orchestra is shaped by each musicians' vibrant background, embodying a futuristic step within contemporary music and live performance.  The orchestra is directed and led by the British innovator, distinguished conductor Peter Wiegold. The orchestra’s first incarnation was generously hosted by the Barbican Centre in 2019, and the co-curator was the late John Cumming, for 25 years director of production house Serious and the EFG London Jazz Festival.

“My look ahead is a nod to Polish keyboard player Tomasz Bura and his band The Scientists.

 This is hard-hitting fusion á la Chick Corea or Ursula Dudziak, with vocal improv from the enchanting Rouhangeze Baichoo,   reframed for today. One of the most exciting bands on the British jazz scene right now. Inspirational music to leave you brimming over brilliantly composed and executed with an obvious synergy and joy.”

- Chris Philips (Jazz FM)
