KAREN BENJEY - pianobar entertainer
Karen Benjey was born and raised near Detroit, MI, and was reared
on the Black Pop and Motown Soul music of the 60's.
Playing the piano and singing from the age of five, she also
was active in her church choir and plays and musicals in school.
From there she entered into a working marital relationship, fronting
hotel lounge type combos.
Of recent past you could find her singing and playing at some
of the finest hotel lobby bars around the world [Japan, Scandinavia,
Germany, Switzerland, Turkey].
Lately she has been fronting her own combo stateside and also
fronting well known jazz combos and big bands of the area, Tampa
/ St. Petersburg, FLorida, Ms. Benjey specializes in the American
Songbook, especially of the 40's and swing era peppered with
a good amount of blues, aka Billy Holiday, Nina Simone, Ella
Fitzgerald and such.
You will find yourself being easily swayed into the blues and
jazz genre of not only yesterday, but also of today's revival
of this great melodic music.
