Diva Taunia

STATS Rank: 10,237 Fans: 1 Views: 2,407

Born: February 18, 1972 Primary Instrument: Vocal

Diva Taunia is an award-winning (see award list below) jazz and cabaret vocalist that the Boston Globe has called a “powerful vocalist with a warm, rich sound.” Like torch singers from the past, her style and image recall the smokey, sexy nightclubs of a different era while her music showcases modern-day topics, humor, and sensibility.

Taunia has been a professional vocalist since 1990, but recently relaunched her solo career after losing over 170 lbs, and gaining a large following of fans watching her progress throughout the country (www.youtube.com/divataunia).
