Ella Fitzgerald Tribute - Wendy Pedersen Quartet

Wendy Pedersen is one of South Floridas favorite performers. Her high-energy vocal delivery, with deep, convincing emotion has been impacting audiences for many years.

Wendy got her Master's degree in Jazz Performance from Florida Intrenational University and is a graduate of the University of Miamis Studio Music and Jazz Vocal program. She began her singing career in high school, but her earliest memory is poring through her moms record collection, practically wearing out the vinyl on Elton John and Beatles records. Eventually, her heart found its 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. She has toured the globe as a featured soloist both on her own as well with other artists, and has headlined festivals in The United States, Madrid, Spain and Russia.

Wendy Pedersen's discography includes her debut CD Me + Three, Ho Ho Ho, Under The Influence, Boy Meets Girl, and her 2016 release We Two with Jim Gasior.

Wendy is also a highly sought after studio singer and has recorded for or performed with artists such as Shakira, Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Arturo Sandoval, Rita Moreno, Alejandro Sanz, Julio Iglesias, Enrique Iglesias, James Brown and countless others.
