Fort Worth native Tatiana “LadyMay” Mayfield has been singing and playing jazz since she was 13 years old. She credits her mother, a Nancy Wilson fan, for giving her the jazz bug. One of 12 semi-finalists in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition, Ms. Mayfield has earned rave reviews and awards for her voice and persona. She has opened for music luminaries such as Kirk Whalum, Bobbi Humphrey, and Randy Brecker. A natural at scatting and an international radio favorite, reaching listeners in Europe, Nigeria, and Brazil, her talent is not limited to refreshing vocals; she also plays piano and trombone, composes, and teaches. .Oh, and why is her stage name LadyMay? Her friend Darwin Martin called her that every time he saw her, and the name stuck.
