Da'se

About

Im a professionally trained vocalist, ive been singing since the age of 5.Music was always on in my house, whether it was my dad's cool jazz , or my mom's gospel, or my older siblings, groovin' R&B. ( There were 10 of us kids, always singing and dancing) I might add, that my grandfather lived right next door, and he absolutely loved Country music, so as a result, Ive been known to belt out a Dolly Parton or Patsy Cline tune! I started out in the church choir, and then on to chorus in middle and high school. I began to train professionally at the age of 12. I started singing as a way to showcase my talent, and found that I enjoyed the spotlight, after winning a few talent shows in college, I knew I had been bitten, my first paid gig was for a friends wedding back in 1999, soon after that I was singing as a paid artist generally 2-3 weekends of every month.I never aspired to book so frequently that my voice might suffer, I was more concerned with choosing the right type of gig, one that would allow me to showcase my special vocal style. So, I guess im saying, I wanted to provide quality more then quantity, and I still feel that way. I specialize in Classic R&B, Jazz, Classical. My favorite standards are songs by Sade, I get requests to do her alot, so much that a few of my entire shows have featured her music. I also love to sing standards of Whitney Houston, ive also done specialty gigs, where only her songs have been featured. Other favorites are Etta James, Roberta Flack, and Areatha Franklin.I also do a Ladies Of Jazz show, that features some of jazz's greatest female artists, such as Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, Anita O Day, Bessie Smith, Nancy Wilson, and Rosemary Clooney, just to name a few! Booking me for your special event means you will always get 200% , whether it is a themed show or improv, where the audience chooses the songs, you will not be disappointed. I always aim to please.I'm just as comfortable doing a dinner party of 12, as I am a wedding reception of 200. I love to sing and I love to move people with my music. I generally provide a one woman show backed by tracks, but will happily add dancers, other singers, band members per your requirements.

Influences

Etta James, Roberta Flack, Sade, Whitney Houston, Areatha Franklin

What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 45 - 60 minutes

Ive often been told that when I sing, the listener is taken back to that era, I aspire to stay as true to the original standard as much as possible, while adding my own personal twist. My audiences are always pleased and as a result im usually able to book addional work from referals . My performance is sophisticated elegance, slightly understated sassines, always a lady, always professional with just the right amount of personal touch to engage the listener.
