LIZ WHITTED DAWSON, SONG STYLIST - SINGER, COMPOSER, JAZZ MUSE
With her deep sultry range, Liz Whitted Dawson is a consummate Singer/Songwriter with JAZZ leanings. She’s been performing professionally for more than a decade in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. Liz takes her audience on an adventure from love to tears to joy. She brings both a fresh new sound and perspective on the Jazz scene that is steeped in Black music which began with her singing at the age of 5 in the church with her family’s gospel group.
Bringing her unique sense of style and class to venues such as The World Stage Performance Gallery and Geoffreys Inner Circle, Liz has graced the stage with two time Grammy nominated world renown Jazz recording artist and founding member of the Blackbyrds, Kevin Toney and with such notable Jazz and R&B musicians as the late Earl "Big Juicy" Johnson, Glen Pearson of the Count Basie Orchestra, Yancie Taylor, Vibes and his Jazztet, mentors: Rose Gales and Howlett Smith, Jerrell Ballard, Mike Alvidrez, Sal Crocker and Ranzel Merritt, Sr. As a singer songwriter, Liz has placed her signature stamp on originals “Ancestors Call” and “Day by the Bay (in LA)” with the Late Prince Lasha and New York based Impresario, Rudi Mwongozi. With Kevin Toney, she also has the ability to create Jingles and Corporate samples.
Liz sang with Paula West at the Razz Room in San Francisco (currently known as Feinstein’s at the Nikko) along with the late George Mesterhazy (Arranger/Accompanist for Shirley Horn), Ed Cherry (Guitarist with Dizzy Gillespie Quartet & Big Band), Barak Mori (Bassist) and the late Tony Reedus, (Drummer with Woody Shaw).
