I bring the to the table a lively, personal, and fun performance that always brings in the attention of those listening. I like to get the audience involved, if the situation permits it, and always make it a top priority that the audience is having fun and entertained!
Depending on what you need, I may sing and play piano, play with my guitarist, backing tracks, or a full band. I am well rehearsed in all performing formats and can deliver whatever you need for your event!
Mercedes, (aka BENZ) is a Pop recording artist in Philadelphia, PA. Her dark, sultry tone coupled with her massive range, gives her listeners a unique, emotional experience they won't forget. Her music is self-described as "soul-fed pop," heavily influenced by the female powerhouses of the 90s and early 2000s such as: Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, and Kelly Clarkson.
In 2015, she attended Berklee College of Music with an emphasis in Music Business, Performance, and Songwriting. After Berklee, she moved to Utah where she began work on her debut EP album, Keep the Change, written with Oba Bonner aka "Obeeyay" (JoJo, Shahadi Wright Joseph) and Marko G (Lindsey Stirling). The title track, Keep the Change, is "strong, sensitive and has an explosive chorus."
BENZ has played at The Velour, soundroom, Dilworth Park, The Fire, World Cafe Live, Dobbs on South, and more.
Her latest single, The Prayer is now available on all streaming platforms.
