Paulette Dozier is a versatile jazz singer and an accomplished stage actress.
She recently completed a successful run of “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar &
Grill,” a musical about Billie Holiday. As a recording artist, Dozier has
released two jazz CD’s “With you” and “Over & over Again.” She has appeared
at numerous jazz festivals, jazz clubs and at concert engagements around the
world. In addition to her jazz credits, she has appeared with Melba Moore in
“Crowns” and in the original cast of the hit musical “Respect: A Musical Journey
of Women.” JazzReveiw.com says “Her music is nostalgic with a
contemporary feel, which makes surrendering to the mood a place of sheer
comfort.”
Wendy Pedersen is one of South Florida’s favorite performers. Her high energy
delivery, with deep, convincing emotion, has been impacting audiences for years.
A highly sought after studio singer, Wendy can be heard on hundreds of
recordings including those of Christina Aguilera, Alejandro Sanz, Julio
Iglesias, Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Chayanne, James Brown, and
Raul Diblasio- just to name a few. Wendy also sings with the jazz vocal
quartet, Mad Romance, featuring Rick Harris, Lisanne Lyons and Greg Diaz. Her
discography includes Boy Meets Girl, Me + Three, Ho Ho Ho,
and Under The Influence, a tribute to the many women singers who inspired
and influenced her. The Miami New Times said, “Wendy can shake the rafters or
break your heart...”
