FEATURED ARTIST: V. Shayne Frederick is a vocalist, pianist, recording artist, composer and educator with  performances spanning two decades. He has been featured at TEDx, NPR, a multitude of music fests, museums, and jazz clubs throughout the country, in addition to curating weekly musical series at South Jazz Kitchen and JG Skyhigh, Four Seasons Comcast within the last few years.

V. Shayne has been cited by the Broad Street Review as “one of the region’s busiest and best jazz singers,” appointed “one to watch” and a “shining light” by All About Jazz, and called “soulful” in Downbeat Magazine. According to WRTI, “Frederick […] could sing about breakfast cereal and make me believe in a higher power,” and according to WXPN, “his stunning baritone effortlessly soars; sometimes a seductive whisper, sometimes an exuberant belt.” Following his debut CD, Lovesome, and three subsequent EPs, Gleaming, Evergreen, and Blacklight, he is releasing a new album, King's Suite, 2022. These self-produced projects include his own musical arrangements alongside collaborative arrangements with instrumentalists, and were all recorded in Philadelphia recording studios, but have received international radio play.

He has performed as orator touring nationally with Ruth Naomi Floyd’s Frederick Douglass Jazz Works, (“the gifted oration of V. Shayne Frederick whose believable vocal portrayal is exactly as I have imagined young Frederick would have sounded,” WHYY) and keyboardist/arranger/vocalist for former Philadelphia Poet Laureate Yolanda Wisher’s band, Yolanda Wisher & the Afroeaters, whose debut album will be released in 2022. His vocals were featured on recent projects by Nicholas Krolak (Voice Equals Power, Outside In Records) and Paul Giess (Hymns: Vol. 1, Ropeadope Records,) among a myriad feature vocal appearances.
