Wendy Colonna

About The Artist:



"Wendy Colonna is not just a singer-songwriter. . . she's a force of Nature" -Michael Corcran



Award-winning songwriter and performer, Wendy Colonna's music is a savory gumbo of southern soul and poetic lyricism borne of her rich Gulf Coast heritage. Her voice ignites both memory and desire.



Among her recent accolades, Wendy was voted "Best Singer Songwriter" in Austin (Austin American-Statesman), received Grand Prize the Famecast International Talent Competition and has won multiple songwriting awards.



Acclaimed producer Papa Mali joined Wendy in producing her latest album, "We Are One." Together they drew inspiration from the landscape and musical heritage of the American South. "We Are One" is a dynamic, contemporary listening experience and yet, timeless. These are songs of love, loss and transcendence stewed in swampy, soulful textures and rhythms.

"WE ARE ONE perfectly demonstrates Wendy Colonna's unceasing maturity as both songwriter and vocalist. Papa Mali appears to be just the sort of producer capable of capturing her incredible range in both areas - an ability to emote everything from gentle sweetness to belting it out like a full-blown, scorching Soul Queen."
