Stacey
International vocalist, Stacey Swanson, is an incredibly versatile singer who performs a vast array of musical styles including soul, blues & jazz and popular music. Stacey’s passion for music stems from early childhood when she would secretly record herself singing along to great singers such as Celine Dion. Stacey went on to study music following school where she began to explore herself as an artist, as a singer and performer, developing a great appreciation for Jazz and Blues artists such as Billie Holiday, Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald.
In her late teens Stacey endured some personal traumas and in seeking solace she found Joni Mitchell, ‘I was in awe of Joni during this time, it sounds cliché but her music helped me to find my way through some difficult times. Joni’s arrangements and lyrical ability are second to none’. Stacey has worked for Yamaha Music Schools teaching group keyboard lessons to children, and also taught privately.
In 2002 Stacey performed original music in Barcelona and Madrid with guitarist Miguel Vico Sanchez, receiving record company interest. In 2006 after graduating with a degree in Jazz, Popular and Commercial Music, Stacey performed throughout the UK and Europe with North East Cabaret band V, became lead singer of original band ‘The Drop’ before leaving in 2008 to spend the summer season performing on the Greek isle of Kos.
Developing herself as a singer/songwriter, in early 2009 Stacey made it to the regional finals of unsigned competition ‘Live and Unsigned’. Armed with a new sound, songs, passion and determination, there is a bright and exciting future ahead.

Miss Ross
Deanne is one of the world’s foremost and best-respected look-alike models / sound-alike singers. Diana Ross is probably one of the most famous female artistes in the world and although the thought of staging her at your venue may seem ‘pie in the sky’, staging the ultimate Diana Ross Look-Alike Tribute may not.
Deanne’s modelling and singing assignments as Diana Ross have taken her to over 40 countries worldwide including: Japan, China, Singapore, Indonesia, Dubai, Abi Dhabi, Bahrain, India, Eygpt, Israel, Russia, South Africa, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, including most European countries, to name a few!
Deanne can stay in character, if required, to mix and mingle with guests after her performance. Deanne also performs with her own backing tracks for either a 20, 30 or 45 minute spot, singing all the major Diana Ross hits from the 60s Supremes classics to the present day hits, such as: Chain Reaction, Love Hangover, Endless Love, When You Tell Me That You Love Me.
Deanne has done backing vocals professionally from the age of 18 at the historic Wembley Stadium for artists such as: Sir Elton John, George Michael, Queen and Mick Hucknall from Simply Red. Deanne has also worked for the real Diana Ross as a stand-in for the Diana Ross International Fan Club, USA, in Germany. Deanne personifies the height of smouldering sophistication that sizzles on stage and off, an experience not to be missed!
Mike Mayfield
A voice steeped in Soul, Blues and RnB, Mike Mayfield is reminiscent of those timeless artists who not only sang, but wrote and played their songs. Effortlessly joining together his outstanding talents as a multi-instrumentalist with his timeless song-writing, results in the collection of songs before you that are honest and real with messages for our time. With themes that range from love, in the song “Shelter in your eyes”, to the loss in “I wanna Believe”, to the need to bring about change in “Change is the only certainty”, and the frustrations held within ambition, in the groove based “Someday”. These songs and the ones he has yet to write, do, and will always connect with people of all ages and from every walk of life.
On stage the multi-instrumentalist turns into the performer, and witnessing a show with the outstanding full band is electrifying, and also gives Mayfield a chance to showcase his consummate abilities to improvise. Hence fully appreciating and experiencing this eclectic but forward looking artist described by the Daily Mail as “the most exciting artist of 2009 and beyond”, can only be done by both listening to the records and seeing the live shows.

Among all, her major influences include Diana Krall, Fiona Apple, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Oscar Peterson, McCoy Tyner, Michel Camilo etc. She currently working on a project to produce her own Demo of her own songs for her future album, while aiming at travelling to different countries at the same time as a musician. Throughout the years of music education, she have sufficient background to support her through Jazz, Classical, Bossa Nova, Pop, Ballads, Latin etc…
Although majoring in Jazz numbers, given the early training in classical piano at the tender age of 6, Cassandra has no problem carrying tunes by Chopin, Mozart, Debussy etc. Her special interests in foreign languages have since been able to prepare her to sing in languages such as English, Malay, Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French.
