Discover Women in Jazz feat. Dionne Wilson

On Thursday, August 13, vocalist and multidisciplinary artist Dionne Wilson will be treating us to a powerful performance for the fifth and final concert in our Discover Women in Jazz series.

Dionne Wilson is a multidisciplinary artist, vocalist, and creative visionary whose life is rooted in the arts. She is the granddaughter of Alton Ellis, widely known as the Godfather of Rocksteady, and carries forward a rich musical legacy through her work. As a vocalist, Dionne has performed background vocals for artists such as Nick Jonas, Pharrell Williams, and Lalah Hathaway, among others. She is also passionate about artist development, having created a songwriting program for young people where they wrote and recorded their own original songs, empowering them to find their voice through music. Dionne is currently developing a new project exploring Pan-African rhythms across the diaspora, highlighting the cultural connections and histories within global Black music. Through all her work, she continues to create, teach, and live fully through the arts.

The sixth season of Discover Women in Jazz is presented by JAZZ.FM91 and sponsored by the Pat and Tony Adams Freedom Fund for the Arts.
