Join us for an evening celebrating the lives and music of three legendary women of soul – Whitney Houston, Sade and Amy Winehouse – whose music and style influenced a generation. The three vocalists presenting this tribute each graced the Jazz Room stage individually last season, and we are excited to see them together for this fantastic tribute, accompanied by a band of seasoned Toronto musicians.
Quisha Wint as Whitney. Quisha was born to sing and entertain. She grew up in a Jamaican/Canadian home listening to Reggae, Motown, Gospel, R&B, then entered the jazz program at Humber College in the mid ’90s. From there she embarked upon her dream of performing with well-known musicians, which took her to exciting overseas hotel engagements. Since then, Quisha has sung in many parts of Asia, Europe, North America, and Caribbean. With a bright personality and strong emotive vocal abilities, Quisha is one of Toronto’s most sought-after session vocalists.
Selena Evangeline as Sade. Selena is a world-class singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, whose songs are musical snapshots of real-life and emotions. She has received an Ontario Independent Music Award, Barrie New Music Award and an honourable mention in the John Lennon Song Writing Competition. Selena has shared the studio and stages with Sheila E., Patrice Rushen, Jocelyn Brown, The Nylons, Odyssey and many more.
Jill Zadeh as Amy. Jill has been working professionally as a live touring, and studio recording vocalist for the last 20 years alongside artists such as Janet Jackson, Maroon 5, Christina Aguilera, Brandy, Lindsay Lohan, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight and Joss Stone. She can also be heard on recordings by Chris Botti (with Sting and Paula Cole).
