Gwyneth Herbert (born 26 August 1981) is a British singer-songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist and record producer. She was initially known for her jazz and swing interpretations. However, she is now well-known as a composer of original compositions, which includes musical theatre. Her songs have been called “impressively crafted, engrossing vignettes[s] of the most difficult moments in life” and “an exquisite wordsmith”.

Herbert and Rutter left university to move to London where Herbert met Boney M’s former member. Herbert was asked to be a judge in a Polish television music contest. Rutter and she were invited to participate in the competition, which Black Coffee won. Black Coffee returned to London and continued performing in bars before Ian Shaw introduced her to Ian Shaw, a well-known jazz singer. The result was the creation of First Songs, a debut CD of original and jazz standards. It was initially credited to Will and Gwyn. Jamie Cullum sang the Herbert/Rutter song, “Sweet Insomnia”. The album was praised by Michael Parkinson and described by BBC Music as “a lovingly crafted debut”.

Herbert left Universal Classics and Jazz to pursue a less commercial and more personal musical direction and then self-financed a project in which she collaborated with Polar Bear’s Seb Rochford in a production role. Between Me and the Wardrobe, an album of self-penned songs, was recorded in three days and was never intended for general release. The album was initially made available, in 2006, on Herbert’s own Monkeywood label before being picked up by Blue Note Records, making Herbert their first UK signing in 30 years. In a five-starred review, Stuart Nicholson of The Observer said that on this album she “lets the lyrics do the work for her. They are well thought out, moving between artfully constructed soft-focus simplicities to poignant yearning”.
