She is the pride of Baltimore and one of the most awarded singers in the history of the SoulTracks Readers’ Choice Awards. Today we wish a very happy birthday to singer supreme Maysa Leak, known to the music world simply as “Maysa,” born August 17, 1966.
A unique vocalist with an incomparable alto voice, Maysa first hit the scene as part of the international ensemble Incognito, where she was lead singer on a number of major hits and revered album cuts. But for two decades she’s also been a top tier solo vocalist, with millions of fans in both the jazz and adult soul worlds. And she is also a video star for her weekly online Sunday night karaoke sessions and the creator of her own record label. In other words, she is the whole package as an entertainer.
If you get the chance to see her live, don’t miss it. But for today, let’s just wish Maysa a Happy Birthday.
