ABOUT Janis Siegel

Over the past three decades, the voice of Janis Siegel a nine-time Grammy winner and a seventeen-time Grammy nominee has been an undeniable force in The Manhattan Transfer's diverse musical catalog. Alongside her career as a member of this 32-year musical institution, Siegel has also sustained a solo career that has spawned more than a half dozen finely-crafted solo albums and numerous collaborative projects.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1952, Siegel learned about the music business at an early age. By the time she was 12, she was singing with an all-girl pop trio called The Young Generation. By a chance encounter after high school she was steered into The Manhattan Transfer. The group's self-titled debut album in 1975 marked the opening chapter of the foursome's quarter-century-plus success story. Over the years, Janis' unmistakable voice has become one of the group's most recognizable trademarks. She sang lead on some of the Transfer's biggest hits, such as "Operator," "Chanson D'Amour" and "Birdland." In 1993, she and her Manhattan Transfer colleagues received their honorary doctorates from the Berklee School of Music, and in 1999 they were among the first class of inductees into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.

In addition to her stage and studio work with The Manhattan Transfer, Janis launched her solo career in 1982 with the release of Experiment in White. Other solo albums include At Home (1987), I Wish You Love (2002), Friday Night Special (2003) and her eighth and latest solo recording, Sketches of Broadway.

Siegel's most recent collaborations and projects outside The Manhattan Transfer include touring as a member of the acclaimed improvisational vocal group, Bobby McFerrin's Voicestra and being a participant in a tribute to jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center.
