Christie Dashiell, who was born in Washington D.C. and grew up in Greenville, North Carolina, is an up-and-coming singer whose style crosses over between jazz and r&b.

She graduated from Howard University (where she was part of the school’s vocal jazz ensemble Afro Blue) and the Manhattan School of Music.

Ms. Dashiell has performed with Nancy Wilson, Geri Allen, Smokey Robinson and Esperanza Spalding, recorded with John Blake, appeared at several different music festivals and leads her own quartet; she also was featured at Kennedy Center in Sarah Vaughan and Clifford Brown Reimagined.

On her LiveStream of Aug. 22, 2020, Christie Dashiell performs a jazz-oriented set of duets with keyboardist Mark. G. Meadows (who is in excellent form), uplifting the little-known material, stretching herself, and sounding at her best on a tender ballad.
