Playing for eager and excited audiences, she headlined packed houses around the US and EU including: Warner Theater, 9:30 Club, Kennedy Center Millenium Stage, Blues Alley, Blue Note NYC, Cobb Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, and Jazz Café in London. In 2015, she headlined a four-week international residency for Jazz At Lincoln Center in Doha.

Debórah has also performed/recorded with: The Foreign Exchange, Zo!, Ledisi, Melba Moore, Frank McComb and the late acid jazz legend Ronnie Jordan, among a host of others.
Elyscia Jefferson
Those are the three words that best describe new artist Elyscia. Although the contemporary urban artist is brand new to the music business, she is no stranger to music. The attractive and talented songstress has been belting out tunes for most of her life. Her captivating voice has opened doors to sing background for R&B greats like Jennifer Hudson and Regina Belle, providing new platforms to showcase her exceptional musical skills. A Baltimore-based vocalist and songwriter, Elyscia is now taking her music worldwide with the release of her blazing debut single, “Nobody Else” on the One Vision Music, LLC, label.
Her father, popular producer and songwriter Elliot Jefferson, knew there was something special about his child when she grabbed the mic in church on Sunday morning and sang to her hearts content – at the age of 3. She found herself singing to tracks that her Dad was working on and harmonizing easily to tunes on the radio during family trips; simply put, singing just came easy to her. Seeing the gifting in their daughter, her parents encouraged her to sing.
A few years later, her vocal talent prowess was accented by songwriting, something she says that she has to be inspired to do. “My songs come from the heart,” she says. “I can’t force a song. I can’t just sit down and say, ‘I’m going to write a song today’. And what I have found is that songs can come to me at any time.” A prolific songwriter, she loves sharing her heart through her music. As a fifth grader, she enhanced her talents by studying piano, but her voice seemed to always take center stage. The local buzz about her vocal skills started when she performed at the Columbia Teen Idol Competition a few years later. Continuing to add to her growing list of musical titles, she is also a producer, following in her father’s footsteps and the STAR of NBC'S HIT SHOW "THE VOICE"
