Cheryll A. Johnson Jazz Singer from Redford, MI

Greetings! I am an experienced vocalist who has been performing for many years in a variety of venues and situations. After all this time, it still thrills me to get on stage and share my gift. If you book me, you will find that I am - Dependable - Prompt - Professional - Willing to assist you with what would work best for you event musically. My style is energetic, smooth and soulful/jazzy; think Diane Reeves, Ella Fitzgerald, Randy Crawford, Phyllis Hyman, Patti Austin, Roberta Flack, Jill Scott, Anita Baker, Marilyn McCoo, Diana Krall, Etta James, Tony Braxton, The Marvelettes and Mary Wells, etc. I offer a variety of styles of music to choose from: jazz, smooth jazz, Motown, R&B, Soul, pop, and spiritual. I am available for nightclubs, restaurants, festivals, concerts and private events, including weddings, funerals, retirement homes, and spiritual events. I also do themed performances, such as birthdays, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's R&B, Motown, etc. I offer two types of bookings: 1. With musician(s): more costly, but it can add to the atmosphere to have a live musician 2. Alone: I perform with professionally recorded music. This is a more budget conscious choice, but with the same quality show.
