About Me

At the age of 14, Yolanda performed professionally for the Atlanta Convention Bureau, Avanti Furs, and the Coca-Cola Company. Yolanda has also toured the United States, Europe and Japan for Coca-Cola as a featured vocalist. Her latest work, I Want 2 Love You has been a wonderful experience and is a part of the Stanley Baird Group's, new Project, Traffic Jam . It was written by songwriter Theresa Richmond and features Yolanda on lead vocal with renowned jazz saxophonist, Stanley Baird.
The second tune, So Real, is a professional demo co-written by Yolanda and producer Denver Wright of the Collective. (Where) Peaceful Waters (Flow) is Yolanda’s song of the heart and a professional demo. All lead and background vocals for So Real and Peaceful Waters are done by Yolanda. Yolanda has been blessed to work with Stanley Baird, Ad*Lib, and the House of Rhythm Band, but her true love is musical theatre where she has performed with stars from the Broadway stage, including Julia Murney, Norm Lewis, Tony Award winner, Michael Rupert, Lauren Kennedy, Ray Walker, and George Merritt. Notably, Yolanda also performed a special arrangement of "God Bless America" made especially for her by the renowned soul singer Issac Hayes, for the late and former President, Ronald Reagan.
