Amber Weekes

Born: July 9, 1962

American jazz recording artist Amber Weekes has given the world a special and unique gift:  her voice.  Her producer Mark Cargill described it as “a voice from Heaven,” and hears “harps, violins, trumpets on a cloud of velvet whenever she begins to sing.”

Weekes is rising to the pinnacle of her career with the upcoming 2024 release of “A Lady with a Song – Amber Weekes Celebrates Nancy Wilson,” an homage to the legendary jazz singer and fellow storyteller.

Weekes, raised in Los Angeles, says she was “born singing” in her parents’ musical household.  At four, she stepped onto her first stage, the living room coffee table in her childhood home.  The daughter of singers from Harlem, Weekes’ home oozed with the sounds of Frank Sinatra, Nancy Wilson, Barbara Streisand, Diahann Carroll, The Beatles, Leontyne Price, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Brown, Jr., and Ray Charles.  Generations earlier, her grandparents, Wilfred and Nettie Weekes, served musical giants Lena Horne, Duke Ellington, Billy Strahorn and many others inside Weekes’ Luncheonette in the Sugar Hill section of Harlem.  These famous patrons left their musical mark on the family.  It was just a matter of time that Weekes would step into and fully claim her musical inheritance.
