DD Francois Jazz Blues n More Ensemble

DD sang at my brother's memorial service and I cannot emphasize enough how special her performance was to my parents, myself, friends and extended family. Planning the service was difficult for my parents and I but DD ushered us through the process as smoothly as one could hope. Her professionalism is notable and impressive. She was incredibly kind and supportive to communicate with, accommodating and patient with our constantly changing requests, and above all, she is armed with an angelic voice and enchanted us with her performance. On such a difficult day, her voice brought us a sense of joy and she took what would have been a very heavy day for us, and morphed it into a day of healing with her voice - the power of music has the ability to do that, and having a shining light like DD is what made it possible for us. I can not emphasize enough how much we appreciated her services, but also how much our guests were taken with her. She was able to tailor the delivery of the songs to fit the setting of a memorial but I can only imagine under more joyful circumstances, what she would be able to bring to the table. Don't think twice, book DD Francois.

DD and I connected through GigSalad to create a sort of singing telegram moment for husband’s surprise 50th birthday party. She took my ideas of creating a big-hair 80s/90s rock tune and poke fun a bit at his new age. DD worked the catalogue and chose “It’s My Life” by Bon Jovi. She arrived promptly on time, in costume and had a great portable sound machine so that it didn’t matter where the song happened as long as there was electricity. DD has an incredible voice and could probably sing anything she set out too. She got my husband, Tim, involved in singing the song and even a little dancing during the air guitar! I was thrilled by the reaction and the response of the birthday boy and our guests.

So easy to coordinate from my part and my team loved the entertainment!
Thanks, DD!

DD was fantastic

She was very professional and handled my austistic sister without missing a beat... literally! I booked last minute, with a very obscure song...the theme song of a tv show... And she nailed it! My sister was jumping up and down and singing along into the microphone.

Deidrey did a great job, she is so warm and can really make a moment shine. She has a great soul and did a wonderful job and her voice is outstanding. Thank you so much Dedirey!! Everyone at our party was so impressed by her.

Diedre completely exceeded our expectations. She was professional and completely customized her performance. Not only does she have an incredible voice but she was able to connect so well with her audience. I highly recommend her for any event. So fortunate to have found her.

I hired Deidrey for a singing telegram and it was fantastic! She was able to accommodate all of our requests and bring joy and fun to a work event!! Her voice is amazing! She even persevered through a snowstorm to follow through on our reservation. Would book and refer her again!

When I hired Deidrey, guests at my events LOVED her! They wonder, as I do, why she is not famous by now. She has a golden voice, and a heart to match. Truly a gifted musician, songwriter and singer, and a wonderful person! I hired her twice - first time was November 29, 2015, and second time was Feb 1 2016. Would hire her again! Google "Deidrey at Martello Alley" to see some videos.

We are blessed to have Deidrey as our Music Director at Unity of Greater Hamilton. Her talent is immense and she inpires us every week. What amazes me the most is that she will writes music that specifically supports our message often and with ease. It is always beautiful. Whether it's Jazz, Blues, Opera or Praise, I encourage all to enjoy the musical talent of Deidrey Francois.

DD has a magnificent voice and a great talent! I have had the pleasure of hearing her sing many times. DD has the talent of moving one with her voice. DD is so talented - it is always a pleasure to hear her sing any time - any where!!!!

Deidrey is a good singer she entertaines,she engages her audience and she's full of energy. Deidrey has an excellent performance whenever she performs with this beautiful voice of hers always makes me feel emotional whenever she sings.

Deidrey was hired to sing at my retirement party and they were INCREDIBLE! She sings with soul and from the heart. Her voice is incredible, her music made my evening complete.

Heart-felt, up-beat, inspiring and empowering!

It has been my good fortune to hear Deidrey in a wide variety of settings, concerts, plays, dances and church services. Both solo or with others, Deidrey brings the best energy and loves to interact with the audience. Deidrey is also a very talented songwriter, both in lyrics and music. She is always well dressed and prepared and I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Those are the words that describe this talented lady.
I've had the pleasure of hiring her to perform with our band on several occasions which has contributed greatly to our performances.Her solo performance is always amazing.

Deidrey Francois has performed at many musical events that I have created, both solo and with her Ensemble. She receives accolades wherever and whenever she is on a stage, large or small.
I have experienced Deidrey on numerous occasions and she delivers each and every time. Her connection with her audience is pure magic.
Deidrey fits in any venue or type of event that requires music, either her own writings or any genre that is asked of her.

I had a chance to hear her perform and I was in awe. Her voice is so beautiful and reminded me of Barbara Streisand.she also very talented playing the Piano. You will not be disappointed.

I heard Deidrey on CD before ever meeting her and fell in love with her sultry, soulful voice. Having seen her many times over several years, I still am mesmerized by her depth and beauty. She is definitely worth seeing and listening to.

I've seen Deidrey perform countless times in many different venues and with varied audiences delivering powerhouse songs in her own unique and compelling way. Watching Deidrey perform is absolutely riveting. She connects to her audience from start to finish leaving them feeling uplifted, inspired and craving for more. Her versatility and skill at singing, songwriting and playing instruments is amazing. She is a consummate musician who takes her craft very seriously though when performing she is the very essence of joy. It's clear that the stage is her home.

I would give 2 thumbs up over and over (and more if I had more thumbs 😉) to the amazing and powerful performance of the super talented Deidrey Francois and her excellent musical ensemble!! Deidrey's soulful and smooth voice is rich with extensive range that she explores effortlessly! Truly a musical experience that you do not want to miss.

I've had the extreme pleasure of listening to Ms. Francois and her amazing ensemble. VERY talented multi-faceted singer and musician. Her keyboardist is second to none and immensly talented. The rest of the ensemble are also ALL magnificent. Deidrey can work a room like no-one I can re-collect in recent memory. She delivers the goods with a rich voice and can captivate and interact with any audience. Two HUGE thumbs up for this incredible, beautiful entertainer.
