In this episode we are presenting Whitehorse jazz musician Brenda Lee Katerenchuk.
Brenda Lee’s unique style is the result of a lifetime of musical influence. Growing up listening to her drummer father’s big band perform or watching her mother give ball room dancing lessons filled Brenda Lee’s ears with musical spirit. After only 5 years of studying guitar, by the age of 15 Brenda Lee was honoured with 3 Outstanding Performer awards and by age 17 was a silver medallist at the Royal Conservatory of Music in classical guitar. She received a Bachelor of Music degree in classical guitar and was clearly inspired as she has been teaching guitar professionally since then. Adding vocals was natural for a girl who could belt out with thrilling expression.
