Our names are Elasea Douglas (vocalist) and Sadiki Pierre (bassist). Together, we are Acute Inflections, New York’s Jazzy R&B Duo!

One reviewer described us as “a velvety mix of Erykah Badu & Billie Holiday paired with the cool grooves of a 007 on bass.” We perform for concerts and special events, we’ve shared the stage with Jennifer Hudson, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and other notable artists, and our music has been featured on Discovery and NPR.
