Hi, I'm The Brazen Ms Chazen - as I always say, partly cos it rhymes, mostly cos it's true!
I am an Olivier nominated actress and singer with a lot of experience, having sung in musicals, on cruise ships, at parties, at corporate events, in restaurants and bars and performances in jazz venues around the world, from London to New York, Shanghai to St Petersburg and more.
I am a solo performer, using high quality big band sound backing tracks, but can also provide a pianist if you prefer.
I sing jazz and blues songs from the 1920's to the 1960's plus several Post Modern Jukebox numbers - modern pop songs covered in a vintage style. I can provide background music or give a full concert, either toe tapping and upbeat or mellow and chilled. Your wish is my command!
I also have several themed cabarets ready to go - perfect for corporate entertainment - on the following subjects:
I am also a songwriter and have written a whole cabaret of songs entitled Songs of Love, Lust and Hate.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Based in North West London
= areas covered (up to 20 miles)
= free travel (up to 10 miles)
I am very self contained and have all my own equipment. Don't even need a power source as I'm battery operated. I can play outdoors too so long as it's not raining.
Sound yes, lighting no.
Parking would be a bonus.
I can do a playlist of background music if necessary.
I have played in jazz venues around the world. Shanghai was probably my favourite!
I'm a vintage girl! Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone....heaven. Greatest song of all time?? What a question! Depends on my mood. Feeling Good? These Foolish Things? So many many many!!!
I've been an actress and a singer for over 30 years. But I still got it, baby!
Any and all - each one has its own charm!
5 minutes set up. Performance time 3 hours generally but can do shorter or longer.
Yes so long as covered if raining.
