Our Team Is Our Heart and Soul
These three dynamic performers are at the top of their game...and are good friends. Proof positive that there is always room for more talent in the room. It is the collective belief of Marcy, Ellen and Kristin that there is no need for competition among colleagues, but instead that they can inspire one another. The MKEVJ team wants to empower young artists to work on their own personal goals while also bringing a good attitude to any group environment they may be involved in. Giving people the tools to learn and appreciate the style of Jazz singing will not only create the musicians of the future, but the audiences as well. Please reach out to any member of our team with questions or to find your own unique voice!
