“Music is food for the heart and soul”
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 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 hone my craft and the art of commanding your audience. Supported Billy Ocean, Eddie Kendricks, Bill Fredricks, Rolls 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.

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. Always looking to Colaborate with different musicians. Im sick of saying “I” now, so “that’s enough”
My motto is: “Music is food for the heart and soul” Yours Vocally, YvonneJ
