Debbie Wileman is a vocal impressionist specializing in Judy Garland, Shirley Bassey, Marilyn Monroe, Barbra Streisand, Julie Andrews and Billie Holliday.

With over one million views later, she became an overnight internet sensation. Following her sold-out debut last November starring in Massive Little Voice on tour, Wileman won the audience award for Best Vocalist with the Broadway World Cabaret Awards.
