Clairdee

Jazz singer Clairdee's warm, effervescent, and sassy style has not only earned her rave reviews but also a solid fan base, of which the famed Nancy Wilson is a member. Born Barbara Clairdee in Tucson, AZ, Clairdee spent most her early years in Denver, CO, but as an Air Force child, she saw more travel than most children. It exposed her to all types of music, most of which she fell in love with. Singing began at age 14, and with such a solid voice, Clairdee was soon doing session work for television commercials. After her teens, a move to San Francisco was in order and while keeping her session work going, Clairdee was moonlighting in the city's jazz clubs. Her debut album, Destination Moon, was released in 2000 by the Declare Music label. Her Christmas album This Christmas appeared in 2003 and was followed two years later by the funky Music Moves. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide
