Chicago Jazz Singer

Professional vocalist Amy Yassinger (nicknamed the “jazz singer”) has been building her singing career for a decade. As a bandleader and recording artist, her music has been heard in festivals, events and cruises both in America and overseas. She has recorded 2 albums; “Sometimes I’m Happy” (distributed by Warrior Records) and “Cruisin’” with the Shout Section Big Band. She can be heard on Spotify and Pandora.

Born and raised in Chicago, Amy discovered her passion for music as a teenager after having spent a summer at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Her studies in Jazz and Pop Music continued at the University of Miami in Florida, followed by a Master’s Degree from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Amy embraces all opportunities to sing in a variety of styles. She has appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” as a backup vocalist for Charice Pompengco and Usher. She is regularly performing with her own band within Yazz Events.  When she is not performing or recording in Chicago or working with clients to create a musical landscape for their events, she is working as an educator, teaching a variety of private voice students.

Her love for performing continues to grow with each event. Whether clients are looking for a subdued, elegant event or a big, lavish, non-stop party, Amy goes above and beyond to deliver.  Amy and her team are excited about their new show:  “Yesterday Once More…A Loving Tribute to The Carpenters” in 2024 and are currently looking to perform at future shows in 2025 and 2026.
