Album Notes

Wendy Pedersen is one of South Florida’s
favorite performers. Her high-energy vocal
delivery, with deep, convincing emotion has
been impacting audiences for many years.
A graduate of the University of Miami’s Studio
Music and Jazz Vocal program, Wendy began her singing career in high school. But her earliest
memory is poring through her mom’s record col-
lection, practically wearing out the vinyl on Elton John and Beatle’s records. Eventually, her heart
found it’s way to jazz and it has felt like home ever since.
Wendy has won many awards including the Southern Bell/Pace “Jazz Artist of the Year” and
a Miami New Times “best vocalist”. Leonard Pitts of The Miami Herald said, “when she sings,
her voice an elegant melismatic instrument, evokes the standard emotions, yes, but deeper
longings and muted desires.” Doug Adrianson,
also of The Miami Herald said, “..she can steam up your contact lenses from100 feet away.”
The Miami New Times said, “Wendy can shake the rafters or break your heart...”
Wendy Pedersen’s discography includes her debut CD, “Me + Three”; a Holiday CD, “Ho Ho Ho”; and her brand new release, “Under The Influence”, a tribute to the many women who inspired and influenced her.
Wendy’s original song “Take Out Queen”, a steamy
and funky blues a la Dinah Washington is already getting airplay on Love 94!
