Born on August 28, 1971, Gwen Yvette can be described in one word Soulful. Strong comparisons in voice and delivery are often made with R&B/Soul greats such as Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight.
Gwen Yvette was born in New York and raised on St. Helena Island, a small sea island on the coast of South Carolina. Her native soulful delivery and beautiful voice have inspired the Rebirth of Soul movement which recently has sparked the resurgence of classic R&B/Soul music.
Despite the hardships that accompanied dealing with depression, failed relationships, and loss, Gwen Yvette has emerged, and reignited her passion for singing. Bypassing big record labels standards; she has found her audience while pursuing her career with no restrictions.
Currently working on her forthcoming album, entitled, "Beyond The Wall" her goal is to simply re-introduce soul music to an older audience while influencing and gaining a younger following.
She currently can be seen performing at The Champagne Room, various clubs, weddings, community and private corporate events with her funk and soul band, T.C. Soul Playas.
I Binnuh Sing Long Time!!!
When you hear someone say they have been singing all of their lives, it may sound a little cliché, but the truth is I have been singing since I can remember. I think I was about 12 or 13 the first time that I realized that my singing made people "feel" something. I can recall thinking " I like this!" :-)
All that aside though, God gave me the gift, to be used for His glory, to encourage and uplift His people.
Life hasn't always been easy, but right now, life is about living the life God intended for me to live when He created me...and that's something to SING about!
