Biography
Pianist/composer Deborah Wyndham has been entertaining audiences in New England for over eight years. Described as “a cross between Liberace and Bill Evans”, she gives an inspiring performance of a variety of genres with a classical edge.
With radio and television appearances and enthusiastic listeners from over 60 different countries, she musically offers something for every taste. While her unique compositions are a beautifully haunting contemporary fusion of jazz and classical, she also performs her own arrangements of early 20th century American pop music, Celtic, stride, and ragtime.
Deborah has completed four solo piano CD projects in the last seven years and received an Honorable Mention from Billboard Magazine in 2004 for one of her compositions. Recently featured in the NH Mirror Magazine, she has received ecstatic reviews from many other publications as well as from her adoring fans. With many requests for her music from numerous international and national radio stations, Deborah also had the second highest rating out of 32,000 artists in January and February 2008 on CNET, one of the world’s largest music sites where her music gets several hundred listens every week. Audiences have repeatedly described her playing as sounding at times “like four hands”. Recent releases include her 2008 debut CD of all original piano music entitled “Piano Compositions”.
With an unparalleled elegance rarely seen these days by young artists, many frequently ask if she is a graduate of Julliard or Berklee, though Deborah studied piano only in her youth for five years, beginning at age eight. Within two years she began performing original, unedited versions of Scott Joplin rags which she learned on her own and eventually ceased classical lessons, continuing her love of piano through ragtime music. Later on, she discovered jazz from fellow musicians, and her music has developed into a refined and sophisticated style due to her early classical training. In this way she plays her own arrangements in many styles of music, including original neo-classical pieces. Because of her versatility and ability to accommodate every audience, Deborah performs in many types of venues from private and public events to the concert stage.
