Ledisi
Artist Overview
Singer-songwriter Ledisi Young began to make a national name for herself in the late-2000s with a jazzy, funky sort of soul plucked from three decades hence. However, the sparkling-throated chanteuse had lived a musical lifetime before that. She debuted at age 8 on stage with her hometown New Orleans Symphony Orchestra at age eight, before relocating to Oakland where she would land a role as Dorothy in a heralded local version of the Wiz. She would become a staple of the Bay Area cabaret scene beginning in the '90s, and it was a slow rise, but by the end of the next decade she would become one of the most intriguing voices regularly heard on R&B radio.
