  • Bio

    ...Hello, my name is Wendy Guevara. I was born in Lancaster Gate in Central London. When my mother was pregnant with me she would go for her daily walk in Hyde Park and I would usually kick when she came to the statue of Peter Pan. As a result I was named Wendy after the character in that children's storybook. Before my second birthday, I went to Trinidad, in the Caribbean and did not return to England until my last year at primary school. On my mother's side I am of Carib Indian, Latin American and African decent. On my father's, my great great grand mother was a Carib Indian and my great grandmother was a Hong Kong Chinese. My grandmother then threw in Arawak Indian to the mix. (NB: Caribs and Arawaks are native peoples of the Caribbean before the Europeans came. The Europeans then brought Africans, Asian Indians, etc, etc.) Therefore, for my ancesters love had no racial and cultural boundaries. In my mid teens I moved back to Trinidad and at 17 I started working for Janelle Penny Commissiong who was the first Black Miss Universe till I became 21. Those were wild, fun, happy days!! I have a 1st class BA honours degree and a Master of Science degree from London University but know so little. There is just so much to explore and discover in the world especially in terms of art and music. In the world of jazz people always want to know who you've worked with so here goes! As a musician, these are some of the people I've had the pleasure to work with:- first and foremost I've performed with the legendary bassist - Peter Ind (who's worked with Billie Holliday, Charlie Parker and Buddy Rich); vibraphone player, Roger Beaujolais (works with Mark Lockheart and Robin Aspland); saxophonist, John Barnes (who has worked with many greats including the late Humphry Lyttleton); bassist, Serge Ngando (worked with Miriam Makeba, Ladysmith Black Mambazo); Bass/keyboard/stealpan player, Mick Hutton (worked with Nigel Kennedy, Claire Martin); pianist, Simon Brown (works with Lewis Wright); Dave King (worked with Charles Aznavour); guitarist, Nils Solsberg (worked with Brian Ferry and Claire Teal). Finally, for the people who keep asking me this question - yes, I did sing for the designer JASPER CONRAN at his home. ****************** Thanks Courtney for making me the COURTNEY PINE's JAZZ CRUSADE UNSIGNED ARTIST OF THE WEEK on BBC RADIO 2. ************************** I have been lucky enough to have travelled to many places in the world. My most memorable adventures were in The Amazon Rainforest, Nepal, Northern India, Hong Kong, Berlin, Colombia, Gambia and Puerto Rico.

    I work with a variety of brilliant musicians. This year I've had the fantastic opportunity to play more than once with the legendary bassist - Peter Ind - who has worked with Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Buddy Rich and too many other legendary great artists to mention. It was brilliant working with him at the 606 Club, London.
  • Influences

    I guess, if I think about it, I just love music - therefore I've been and am influenced by a whole rainbow of sound. When I was very young I liked Chick Corea (especially Spain), Ramsey Lewis, the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, calypsos, soft rock, r&b, funk... Over the years I've sung along to, danced to, cried to and enjoyed Stevie Wonder, Seal, Prince, Sean Paul, Madonna, Journey, Asia, Evanessence, James Taylor, soca music, Bach, Mozart, Operas, Earth Wind and Fire, Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, Louis Jordon, etc, etc...
