Perfect Fusion of Jazz, Classical, & Contemporary!

About Me

Femme Fusion is more than just 3 women making music. It's about the fusion of art, style, and music. In order to rationalize the unexplained. ART... STYLE... MUSIC...Who is Femme Fusion?Femme Fusion is a San Diego-based trio of women combining their unique and extensive individual backgrounds to create an ambiance that is perfect for any occasion or environment. Their repertoire consists of jazz standards, ballads, contemporary, pop, classical and show tune selections well known and loved by everyone.The deep rich vocals of Celeste Barbier show off her professional opera training, while making a smooth transition into jazz and contemporary music. With a background in rock and funk styles, Nam Chi Vu brings versatility and a strong rhythmic platform to the group switching between acoustic upright and electric basses. Reka Bodis-Parker provides jazzy and distinguishing harmonizations with her brilliant piano and keyboard skills. Femme Fusion Background:The beautiful and talented ladies of Femme Fusion have established themselves individually and have combined talents creating the only all female variety band in San Diego.Educational backgrounds range from the prestigious east coast, Berklee College of Music in Boston to world-renowned choral and conducting music school at Chapman University. Their talents have afforded the ladies many connections and experiences that are once-in-a-lifetime: Celeste had the rare opportunity to sing for a private audience with the late Pope John Paul II in Rome for the 2000 Catholic Jubilee; Nam Chi performed for private gigs at famous venues including the Playboy Mansion and Whiskey-A-Go-Go in downtown LA.Learn more about the Ladies of Femme Fusion by checking out their website at www.femmefusionmusic.com, and feel free to drop a line if you want to know more about these fabulous women!
