'LadyFingers' as a stage name originated from the imagination of Normita Rodriguez Jeffery,bandleader of the group. She is a classically trained pianist who decided to express herself by playing contemporary jazz, fusion, and a little R&B. As a soloist, Normita provided musical entertainment for social occasions on a regular basis . She later was introduced to Sonjah Wise, who became the vocalist for the LadyFingers duo. Recently, Normita re-branded as "NJ LadyFingers". Normita can also play a smokin' left hand keyboard bass if the situation calls. NJ LadyFingers' sound is unique, between smooth jazz and fusion. Not your run of the mill club dance band. The music is inventive, unpredictable, but with a groove that gnaws on your insides.
Normita also has a thriving piano instruction business that she manages from her home studio in Tampa, FL. She also performs as a solo artist at many venues where classical piano programs are requested. The current CD "This Is What It Is" is receiving great reviews and response nationally and internationally, and sales of the first CD, Eargasm" remain steady.
Event planners will love working with Normita. She is 100% professional, and runs her organization in the same way. She has received accolades from clients over the years. you may read their responses on the NJ LadyFingers website (link hidden)
