Chelsea, 22 grew up like most teens singing her favorite pop songs on the radio. But it was her admission to NJ Performing Arts Center program Jazz for Teens where Chelsea made the critical switch to jazz, seeking to emulate her idols, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughn. When I was a kid, I was drawn to the energy of pop music and R&B and I always will be, Chelsea said recently, However, I also appreciated the sophistication and nuance of jazz and I always wished I could share that with my friends. Today,Chelsea is hoping to do just that: to use her fresh, energetic take on the standards to help bring jazz to a whole new generation beginning with Borders Book Stores.
In 2000 Palermo moved south from Bergen County to attend The Red Bank Regional High School Visual and Performing Arts Academy. While there, she was one of eight vocalists in the state to be chosen for the Jazz for Teens program at the NJ Performing Arts Center. Additionally, she was a member of the New Jersey Honors Jazz Choir and the All-State Opera Company. She is in good company, her vocal coach has also trained Diane Reeves and Janet Jackson.
Chelsea recently performed for a national radio audience on the Joey Reynolds Show, broadcast on WOR in New York.
