Local recording artist and performer, Deborah Wedekind, who lives in
the North Houston area, is currently featured with a photo, on the
Singer Universe website's home page at: www.singeruniverse.com, as a
National Top 5 Vocalist Finalist for January 2012! Her original song,
"Psalm on Danny Boy", placed her in the Top 5 due to Deborah's
beautiful vocals, haunting lyrics and unique arrangement. She also won
a Top 5 spot nationally with Singer Universe in their December 2011
Best Vocalist contest, for her unique arrangement of "I Dreamed a
Dream", recently made popular by British singer Susan Boyle. In
Deborah's more Adult Contemporary version, she creates a stunningly
beautiful counter melody in the orchestral strings which depict the
longing and suffering of the lead character, Fantine, while creating a
lighter vocal line that flows "…with much more of a Pop feel" than
prior versions.

Deborah recorded her CD, Clear Skies Ahead, which released in November
2011, with Producer, Troy Warren, Jr., at Absolute Sound studios in
Houston. Troy ranks Deborah's CD as his top project in over 30 years
of working in sound production. Since its release, here is what This
is Kingwood has to say about Deborah:

"...Deborah could and probably should be lumped in more with classic
artists like Astrud Gilberto (Girl from Impanema), Peggy Lee, Rosemary
Clooney and Lena Horne. She's that good. Her silky smooth voice stays
somehow young and fresh while exhibiting a classically trained
experience one can only gain from being, well, that good. If you get a
chance to check out one of her local performances, do yourself a favor
and make the effort, you'll be glad you did."

Additionally, Deborah's original sexy-Latin arrangement of the
classic, "Till There Was You", is currently in the Broadjam.com Top 10
Latin songs chart worldwide, and on Feb. 19th, 2012, it reached #2 on
the Top 10 Latin Jazz world chart. Her "Psalm on Danny Boy" also
remains on Broadjam's Top 10 World Chart, and has been since January
2012. (Broadjam is a site for aspiring singers and songwriters music
industry professionals and fans from around the world, and has many
thousands of members.)

Deborah is also excited to have been recently asked to be the lead
female singer for the Billie Ledbetter Band and Orchestra, Houston's
#1 Dance Band. This will give Deborah many more opportunities to
showcase her talents and bring her unique vocals, arrangements and
compositions to the greater Houston and South Texas area.
