What a Blessing! Came Through Just in Time & Was Lovely

Planning a memorial service for my father after his unexpected passing was overwhelming. With a midweek service at noon - it was difficult to identify singers from churches/referrals who were available on a work day, during short notice, and able to travel to Jessup, MD. Waseme came through in the clutch and worked with me on the song selections, showed up on time, with her equipment and delivered beautiful gospel music. She was great on the ears, easy on the eyes, and she truly let God use her as a vessel. I had no idea how things would turn out hiring "a random singer off the internet", but she was AMAZING! So much more than i expected and I am so grateful she was a part of my Daddy's service. THANK YOU Waseme for everything!

Dear Tanee,

Thank you so much for your heartfelt words and thoughtful feedback. I was truly touched and had to fight back tears once again. Your father was such an amazing man, and though I only experienced a small part of his journey, it was clear to see the tremendous impact he had on everyone around him.

You and your family were so hospitable and caring—it meant so much to me. Please know that the pleasure and honor were truly mine to be part of his homegoing celebration.

Thank you for trusting me with such a delicate and meaningful task. My prayers will continue to be with you and your entire family. May God continue to comfort and richly bless you all.

With love and sincerity,
Waseme

Waseme was Amazing!

We recently had the privilege of having Waseme perform at our mother’s celebration of life service, and I can’t express enough how incredible her performance was. Her energy and presence uplifted the entire atmosphere. We asked her to help celebrate our mother’s life with upbeat gospel music, and she truly nailed it.

Her voice was powerful and filled with emotion, perfectly capturing the spirit of joy we wanted to share during such a bittersweet occasion. Each song reminded us of the love and happiness that our mother brought into our lives.

What stood out most was not just her talent, but her ability to connect with the audience. She had everyone singing along, turning a time of mourning into a beautiful celebration of life.

We highly recommend Waseme to anyone looking for someone who can bring heartfelt joy to a celebration of life service. She was nothing short of amazing, and we will always be grateful for the memories she helped create as we celebrated our mother’s life.

Thank you Waseme for sharing your gift with us!

Dear Shiron,

Thank you so much for allowing me the honor of celebrating your beautiful mother through song on such a meaningful and uplifting day. It truly touched my heart to know that your vision for a joyous and soulful service was fulfilled.

Your mother’s service, and the music you so thoughtfully chose, now serve as a standard I reference when others desire to create a celebration of life filled with hope, love, and inspiration. You truly set the tone for what it means to honor a loved one with grace and joy.

Thank you for being so incredibly amazing. It’s moments like these that remind me exactly why I love the work I do—because it allows me to cross paths with beautiful souls like you. Your mother was a beautiful woman, and it’s clear she raised a beautiful person, inside and out.

May God continue to bless and strengthen you.

Warmest regards,
Waseme Marcelin

About

A VOICE THAT RESONATES ♬
BRINGING SOUL AND INSPIRATION TO EVERY EVENT
I’ve trained in both Classical Voice and Musical Theater, building a strong foundation in vocal technique, piano, and performance arts. My education has provided me with the skills and versatility to perform a wide range of musical genres, from classical to contemporary.

As a versatile vocalist, I specialize in performing Southern & Contemporary Gospel, R&B, and inspirational covers. With a passion for bringing heartfelt music to life, I cater to a variety of functions including weddings, holiday parties, live band performances, private proposals, and singing telegrams. My goal is to create memorable moments with every note, ensuring each event is unique and unforgettable.

Drawing from a diverse array of influences, including the likes of Denice Williams, Whitney Houston, Yolanda Adams, Toni Braxton, Jennifer Hudson, and a host of other legendary artists, I have cultivated a sound that is uniquely my own—a seamless fusion of soul-stirring melodies, impassioned delivery, and unwavering authenticity.

As a vocalist, —it is a ministry, a calling to touch the hearts and souls of audiences around the world. Whether gracing the stage of a grand arena or the intimate setting of a cherished event, my performances are imbued with a sense of purpose and meaning, each note a testament to the power of music to heal, uplift, and inspire.

Additional booking notes

For performances, all I need is my voice and a Mic. I have my own quality sound equipment for telegrams and all performances. I am good to go!!! No need to worry or stress : ) I DO NOT require you to provide a professional setup including adequate lighting, staging, and sound equipment. Of course, optimal lighting enhances the ambiance and visibility, while a high-quality sound system ensures clear and immersive audio.

I have my own state-of-the-art Bose sound system and microphone setup, which I provide if necessary, along with backing tracks. With this setup, I ensure a seamless and captivating experience for both myself and the audience.
