About Me

Fanesha Fabre’,(born March 21, 1982 in Dominican Republic) Singer/Songwriter daughter of Vicente Fabre’, Legendary Dominican Painter and Sculptor.Fanesha’s journey into the music world began as she studied classical guitar during her teens and it was then that she realized that music was her calling.

Fabre began to study singing when she joined the Unity on the Bay Choir under the direction of Karen Jones Jazz singer and daughter of the late bassist for the Count Basie Band, Eddie Jones and noted jazz historian, Elinor Jones.During her time with the Unity on the Bay choir, Fanesha took part of local concerts and became part of an ensemble that accompanied not only Karen Jones, but many local Jazz artists including Nicole Henry, Maryel Epps, Pianist and singer Thom Sessa, Val woods and husband Blues Guitarist Ike Woods.
