 Deborah Wedekind (pronounced: Wee-dee-kind) brings an uplifting pop approach to timeless standards we all know and love. Said to sound “like a cross between Linda Ronstadt and Michael Buble”, she certainly has a style all her own. In her new CD, Clear Skies Ahead, her original arrangements are only outshone by her vocal clarity and range. From Jason Miles, 4-time Grammy Nominated Producer and Grammy Winner, “A wonderful performance…Deborah knows how to take an Iconic song and turn it into her own- She’s a talent that needs to be watched. There could be big things in store for her in the future…Deborah Wedekind is an absolutely su¬¬perb vocalist who with some luck and good experience behind her can definitely be a vital part of the music scene for many years. A superb talent!" Deborah lives in the North Houston area, and is featured on Singer Universe.com as a February 2012 National Top 5 Vocalist for her original song, Psalm on Danny Boy, where she takes a well-loved tune, and adds haunting lyrics to her unique arrangement. She also won a Singer Universe Top 5 Vocalist spot in January 2012 for her unique arrangement of I Dreamed a Dream. In Deborah’s new Adult Contemporary version, she creates a “stunningly beautiful counter-melody in the strings which depict the longing and suffering of the lead character, while creating a lighter vocal line that flows …with much more of a Pop feel” than prior versions. Deborah recorded her CD, Clear Skies Ahead, which released in November 2011, with Producer, Troy Warren, Jr., at Absolute Sound studios in Houston. Troy ranks Deborah’s CD as his “top project in over 30 years of working in sound production”. Here is what This is Kingwood has to say about her: “…Deborah could and probably should be lumped in more with classic artists like Astrud Gilberto (Girl from Impanema), Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney and Lena Horne. She’s that good. Her silky smooth voice stays…young and fresh while exhibiting a classically trained experience one can only gain from being, well, that good. If you get a chance to check out one of her performances, do yourself a favor and make the effort, you’ll be glad you did.” Additionally, Deborah’s original sexy-Latin arrangement of the classic, Till There Was You, is currently in the Broadjam Top 10 Latin songs worldwide, and reached a top spot on the Top 10 Latin Jazz chart, while Psalm on Danny Boy, remains on Broadjam’s Top 10 World Music Chart, and has been since January 2012. (Broadjam.com is a site for aspiring singers, songwriters, music industry professionals and fans from around the world, and has many thousands of members.) She often “hears the music” in her head, and feels that writing songs and arranging them, along with performing, are her life’s calling now: a divine gift so to speak. She wrote or arranged all the songs for Clear Skies Ahead, and has several new original songs ready to record. Deborah’s desire is to bring hope, inspiration, and joy to everyone who hears her music. She’s looking forward to bringing her unique, uplifting brand of music and performance to diverse people and events worldwide. |
