Lady Vonne’s timeless voice brings back the sounds of America’s Jazz Legends. She also sings American Standards and the hits of Contemporary Stars.
Lady Vonne had the “look” of a STAR from her earliest years as a singer performing at nightclubs in Detroit. In her youth, she sang in the church choir and played violin and clarinet in school. But it wasn’t until she began playing the hotel circuit through the Lorio Ross Agency that her singing career began to flourish. It was where she honed her craft. Eventually, she got booked to perform at signature venues like Comerica Park, The Cobo Convention Center, Detroit’s Music Hall, The Montreaux-Detroit Jazz Festival, Birmingham Jazz Festival, and The Arts Beats & Eats Festival. That experience led to becoming an Opening Act for the likes of Joe Sample, Chaka Khan, The Whispers, and Phyllis Hyman. As she advanced, she took on a much more glamorous look that properly conveyed the level of her talent. While known primarily for Jazz, Lady Vonne is adept at performing American Standards, Broadway Show Tunes and R&B. She has also performed on stage in a theatrical productions where she played the role of Phyllis Hyman and also co-starred in “When A Woman’s Fed Up.” Lady Vonne’s supreme vocal skills are enough to fill a concert space but what makes her SPECIAL as an artist is that she takes audiences back in time by telling them background stories of the singers and the songs that she pays homage to. Lady Vonne’s recent release of “My Turn to Fly” features an inspiring
lyric and a vibrant orchestral arrangement that sounds like the title song of a Broadway
Musical. It’s Magical.
