About Me

Eileina (I-lay-na). Eileina's venture into the world of Jazz was inspired when she moved to the USA in 1999 from England. With strong vocal roots in Gospel, British R'n B as well as Soul, Eileina draws from her vocal past to present her take on the great American standards.

Eileina has performed at the infamous "Living Room" in Bangkok, Thailand on several occasions, private events in Singapore, Brazil, Italy and many other european countries.
She remains "on-call" for sessions, clinics and Guest Apperances on an international level.
Her goal is to achieve the level of excellence laid down by the Forefathers and Foremothers of this great American art form.
