MANDY KEMP ~ FIRECRACKER JAZZ

Up-and-coming L.A. vocalist Mandy Kemp performs her signature “Firecracker Jazz” repertoire, including swinging standards, beloved ballads, and sizzling bossas.

Consciousness Tools for Transforming Your Life

Where are you limiting yourself from creating the life you desire? MBA-turned-musician Mandy Kemp shares some of the powerful practices that empowered her to get “unstuck” and manifest dramatic life changes, including making a major career change to revisit her artistic path-not-taken. This interactive workshop invites participants to explore new approaches to mindfulness, healing, and manifesting by introducing a host of tools from Access Consciousness, The Law of Attraction, Kabbalah, and more.

 

Los Angeles-based jazz vocalist Mandy Kemp brings style, soul, and sultry sophistication to the music she performs – whether it’s nostalgic and swinging standards, bluesy ballads, contemporary jazz, or crossover Rock/Pop tunes.  In March 2019, Mandy Kemp released her debut album with her mentor, internationally acclaimed jazz icon Jane Monheit, as Producer.  The 6-song EP, Firecracker, put the redheaded songstress on the musical map. The album – and the emerging vocalist – were warmly received by audiences and critics alike, with Jazz Corner heralding the singer’s debut as “captivating and stunning” and Scott Yanow of L.A. Jazz Scene remarking, “Mandy Kemp sounds so at home on her debut EP, Firecracker, that it is surprising it took her so long to discover jazz.” Kemp performs regularly in Southern California and beyond, as her “firecracker” presence in the jazz world continues to grow. Her music is available for streaming and download on iTunes, Amazon, and other major music platforms, as well as on her website, mandykemp.com.
