Deelee Dube

Born: January 15

Deelee Dube (/'diːliː 'duːbɛ/) born Sithandile Agatha Dube on the 15th of January is a British vocalist, songwriter, and musician of Southern African lineage.

On November 20th, 2016, Dube became the first British winner and recipient of a Sassy Award at the 5th Annual Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition held at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, which landed her with a Concord Records contract and a chance to appear at the Montreal Jazz Festival. The panel judges included Sheila Jordan, Dianne Reeves, Christian McBride, Sheila E. Anderson, and Mark Ruffin. Whilst in Newark, Deelee was interviewed by WBGO radio broadcaster Nicole Sweeney prior to her triumph in the Sarah Vaughan Vocal Competition at NJPAC, where she also met and befriended Dorthaan Kirk and Linda Moody (wife of the late jazz saxophonist James Moody) as part of the TD James Moody Jazz Festival held at the NJPAC.

After playing bodhran in a Celtic music band called Celtic Knot for several years, I got together with some friends and created an oldies jazz band called The Wildcats: "A classic big band era oldies jazz band that plays the most popular jazz of the 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's - with an occasional surprise thrown into the mix." Featuring Mary Grace Lodico on keyboard, the late Bill "Doc" Stecher on synthesizer, Rick Eilerts on upright bass, George Jones on guitar and Alan McRae on drums, this classic oldies jazz quintet can transport you back in time via the romantic music of the Big Band Era - a classier & more civilized era when couples "dressed to the nine's" for an elegant evening out on the town
