Singer and pianist Debra Mann began classical piano studies at age six. She went on to study at Miami Dade Jr. College, and in 1982 graduated cum laude from Boston's Berklee College of Music, where her teachers included Jeff Covell (jazz piano) and Ed Bedner (classical piano). Ms. Mann has also had training in voice (both classical and jazz studies), advanced jazz improvisation, and composition (both with the renowned Charlie Banacos).
In 1982 she began performing solo in the Boston area; that same year she joined Reminiscence, a six-piece jazz ensemble featuring four-part jazz vocals. She was with the group for several years, playing piano, singing, composing, and arranging. They performed throughout New England in jazz clubs and festivals and in 1983 recorded an album.
Ms. Mann moved to Los Angeles in 1985, where she performed in various jazz clubs and hotels and recorded projects for songwriters. The following year she returned to New England and formed Pizazz, a five-piece general business band that performed together through 1990. That year Debra Mann also made a self-titled debut recording of original songs for Big Noise Records and formed the Debra Mann Jazz Trio and Quartet, which still performs regularly in the Boston area and throughout New England.
In 1994 she released a trio recording, 'From the Heart,' performed for Frank Sinatra, by special request, and with her quartet opened for jazz vocalist Kevyn Lettau at the Providence Waterfront Festival.
In March 1995, marking Women's History Month, the Debra Mann Trio performed live on Ron Dellachiesa's WGBH Radio program, 'Music America.' In 1996 Ms. Mann was the featured guest vocalist with Keith Lockhart, and the Boston Pops Orchestra, as part of their Christmas Holiday Concerts in Symphony Hall, Boston, MA.
Ms. Mann performs regularly with her quartet at Chan's in RI to a sell-out house at their annual tribute to Brazilian composer, Antonio Carlos Jobim.
The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences placed Debra Mann on the Official Ballot for the 2010 Grammy Awards in the following categories: Record of the Year ('Autumn'), Album of the Year ('Home'), Song of the Year ('Heart of Love'), Best Pop Vocal Album ('Home'), and Best Improvised Jazz Solo ('Autumn').
