notes
Wendy Pedersen is one of South Florida’s
favorite performers. Her high-energy vocal
delivery, with deep, convincing emotion has
been impacting audiences for many years.
A graduate of the University of Miami’s Studio
Music and Jazz Vocal program, Wendy began her singing career in high school. But her earliest
memory is poring through her mom’s record col-
lection, practically wearing out the vinyl on Elton John and Beatle’s records. Eventually, her heart
found it’s way to jazz and it has felt like home ever since.
Wendy has won many awards including the Southern Bell/Pace “Jazz Artist of the Year” and
a Miami New Times “best vocalist”. Leonard Pitts of The Miami Herald said, “when she sings,
her voice an elegant melismatic instrument, evokes the standard emotions, yes, but deeper
longings and muted desires.” Doug Adrianson,
also of The Miami Herald said, “..she can steam up your contact lenses from100 feet away.”
The Miami New Times said, “Wendy can shake the rafters or break your heart...”
Wendy Pedersen’s discography includes her debut CD, “Me + Three”; a Holiday CD, “Ho Ho Ho”; and her brand new release, “Under The Influence”, a tribute to the many women who inspired and influenced her.
Wendy’s original song “Take Out Queen”, a steamy
and funky blues a la Dinah Washington is already getting airplay on Love 94!

What a bass sound!!
author: JamieWendy is an amazing vocalist in every aspect. "Under the Influence" features great arrangements and exceptional musicianship from all the personell. Her rendition of "It Never Entered My Mind" is a real gem. I've already given this CD to 8 friends, that's how good it is people!
I'm an instant fan!
author: Nicholas AndersonIf I could give it more stars I likely would. Great voice, awesome phrasing, solid combo behind her - just a great disc. There really aren't any weak moments - it's solid through and through.
Under the Influence
author: peter@yanowitchlaw.comAs a vocalist Wendy Pedersen has "it". A memorable voice, impecable and original delivery which brings this great song selection to life. If you are a fan of Jazz standards you will find "Under the Influence" a compelling performance. Her piano accompanyists in Phil Strange and Jim Gasior are wonderful artists and also bring their special styles for Wendy. If you want to make a new friend over the holidays give him or her a copy of "Under the Influence". You will both be glad you did.
