WHAT TALENT BUYERS SAY
I first came to be aware of Debórah Benton through Russell Thompkins Jr's (The Stylistics) management team.
Several years ago I created the Goodness Fund for Music in the Schools to help support music education. One of the fund raising events is an "An Evening of Bacharach" concert.
Debórah appeared in our recent concert as part of the Rochester International Jazz Festival and delivered a stunning performance of several Bacharach songs made famous by Dionne Warwick.
Not only is Debórah a masterful performer, she is also a pure delight to work with. Her professionalism shines through.
Anyone that's looking for a performer that can truly deliver the sound and style of Dionne Warwick needn't look any further. Ms. Benton is a perfect choice.
