About Yvonne J

 
Portrait of Yvonne J
Hi, My name is Yvonne J
I was born in Dundee, North East Scotland. I live in Tucson Arizona now. I have been a professional singer/Songwriter since age 16.
A group originally from Leeds ( via The West Indies ) heard me sing and that was the start of a lifelong career. Travelled and performed extensively throughout the UK, Europe and the USA.
I do studio work now some session some giging. Im learning my way around the Yamaha motif es. Love to write songs day/night.24/7. I play guitar and piano only by ear, but I make my way around them. My biggest regret is being around musicians all my life and never mastering any instruments I love to coach children in Voice and Vocal Dynamics.

It took a lot of years performing to to hone my craft and the art of commanding your audience. Supported Billy Ocean, Eddie Kendricks, Bill Fredricks, Rose Royce and numerous British Stars. Did a lot of TV work in UK and Spain. Featured performer in a pilot show for STV which spun into a 7 show series aired on all major British/Irish networks. Guest appearances on many other entertainers TV shows.

I am the proud Mum of Lee and Anthony I have Been married forever to Tony J who has supported my career 100%.

For 7 years I was the Entertainment Specialist/Coordinator for the entire Mediterranean Region while living in Spain. Providing entertainement to the US Troops and families stationed overseas.
Produced thousands of tours throughout the med for USO/DOD.
I sing mainly Soul/R&B/Jazz/Gospel
very interested in Nujazz.
This website is a great platform for all musicians/performers.

I'm really enjoying listening to all the genres of music on this site.
I plan on making lots of new friends to network with.
Im sick of saying "I" now, so "that's enough"

My motto is: "Music is food for the heart and soul"

Thanks for visiting my page............

To me “Music is food for the heart and soul” My advise for any Singer out there trying to make it “big” is to be patient, learn your craft, get the experience you need to develope your talents. If you get the oppertunity to travel or work with musicians, learn from them…..pick up an instrument and learn to play it. Learn the limits of your own instrument, find your own voice and stylings and work hard to improve and perfect them. Never give up on your dreams, work hard to make them a reality…... For every “Star” discovered there are thousands of us that can make a decent living in this industry. For some us the dream of fame has passed us by but the Passion and the Love for music is just in us. OURSTAGE ROCKS!
