October 16, 2025We were absolutely thrilled to have the Deborah Paiva Jazz Trio perform at our South Coast Soirée earlier this month. Their music brought the perfect touch of sophistication and energy to the evening — creating a warm, lively atmosphere that our guests couldn’t stop talking about.
With the smooth background melodies, the trio delivered an incredible performance that elevated the entire event. Their professionalism, talent, and ability to read the room made them an absolute pleasure to work with.
We’re so grateful to have had them join us for this special night in support of My Brother’s Keeper, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to add timeless elegance and great energy to their event.

April 22, 2020In a social distance world, Deborah and her accompanist bridged the gap with grace, compassion and serious chops! I hired her for my mother’s 90th birthday, and she performed outside to my family sheltering within. Her mastery of jazz standards was matched by her stage presence. I would book her for every event if I could. Just outstanding.

"Truly a voice that is uncomplicatedly beautiful yet still very, very much her own." Charles R Boyer, Owner/Publisher, Jazz & Blues Florida
“When I walked into the JAZZ Lounge, Deborah had just started to sing "You Make Me Feel So Young". She followed with "Old Black Magic." It wasn't black magic that made me feel so young. It was Deborah's unique JAZZ phrasing. It is exclusively 'hers'. That styling comes from not listening to other vocalists versions. She would listen to instrumentals so she would not be influenced and become a copy-cat. She is definitely her own stylist.” Al Kanovsky, Jazz & Blues Florida
"The Boca gig for the Swing and Jazz Society last night was one of our best... The young lady that opened for us was a really good singer with a fine trio to match. Yes, singer Deborah Paiva had the audience in the palm of her hand. During our show, we brought Deborah back to do a tune with our band." Bill Allred (Bill Allred's Class Jazz Band)
“Deborah Paiva has the voice of an Angel.” Denise Righetti, Owner/CFO Denise's Foodie Events
Deborah sings from her heart and soul. Her high energy swing, cool bossa, and sultry ballads are a beautiful blend of clear, crisp vocal excellence and high quality musicianship. She delights audiences with her original styling on Jazz and Blues classics, and the American songbook.
Originally from New England, she studied music and drama at Rhode Island College, and privately with a vocal coach from Berklee College of Music. She's participated in numerous workshops and performances in local theaters throughout Rhode Island, and was a very active performer in the Jazz scene while performing in her own band with some of the finest musicians in MA and RI.
After traveling and performing throughout the US, Deborah settled in South Florida for a number of years, where she performed in various venues including hotels, jazz clubs, restaurants and art galleries, as well as for many local social, political, and charitable events. As a board member for the Swing and Jazz Preservation Society of Palm Beach, she also helped organize and perform in multiple concerts, including one where she was invited to sing with Bill Allred's Classic Jazz Band.
In 2021 Deborah decided to return to her beloved New England, where she's been excited to reconnect with so many of her jazz friends. She's now available for performances in MA and RI with only the finest and most experienced musicians.
