LeNora Jaye
LeNora Jaye grew up in a household where she was exposed to everything
from Jazz, Bebop, Gospel, Motown, Opera, Cabaret and even Broadway showtunes. As a featured vocalist for the funk-rock band Rhythm Republik, she began performing at a host of venerable NYC venues including B.B. King’s, House of Blues, The Blue Note NYC, S.O.B’s, Tramps, The Wetlands, CBGB’s, Ashford & Simpson’s Sugar Bar and many others. A series of session jobs followed, including performances at the St. Lucia Jazzfest as a vocalist for saxophonist Robert Zi Taylor, appearing as a featured artist on the 2011 KZCT OZCAT Radio 89.5 FM’s CARNIVAL Freedom I-JAMS Jazz Cruise, and in 2012 as a contract-performer aboard the CELEBRITY Eclipse cruise vessel. LeNora has proven to be an in-demand artist on the soul & jazz scene and was recently voted BEST NEW ARTIST 2011 by SoulTracks.com Patti LaBelle & Chaka Khan.
