Jazz Singer Chicago

Based in Chicago, Jazz Singer Typhanie has gained international recognition as a rising star vocalist through her true passion. Familiar with a broad range of genres and influences such as jazz, funk, hip-hop, pop, and improvised freestyle, the soulful-voiced chanteuse, bandleader, and songwriter has developed a reputation as a fearless boundary-crosser and a natural frontwoman with excellent scatting abilities and refined emcee skills.

Since her debut in Chicago more than a decade ago, Typhanie has held the stage at renowned jazz clubs and major music festivals around the globe. As an independent recording artist, Typhanie has released three remarkable CDs that have received rave reviews from some of the world’s most respected music publications (including the jazz authority DownBeat magazine) and even made the preliminary voting round for a Grammy nomination in the Best Jazz Vocal Album category.

A teaching and performance invitation in Moscow, Russia, launched Typhanie on her solo international journey. She has performed with some of Russia’s top jazz musicians, including saxophonist Oleg Kireyev and pianist Vladimir Nesterenko, and entertained audiences in Moscow's finest jazz clubs.

JazzTimes magazine has described Typhanie’s vocal sound as a modern-day Sarah Vaughan with iridescent traces of Lena Horne. Others have compared her to Minnie Ripperton, Chaka Kahn, Diana Krall, and Erykah Badu.
