Ramona Enez

I left New York and moved to Southern California at first where I was performing Top 40, R&B and some jazz. I fell in love with Jazz at an early age and knew that was my destiny and desire in my music endeavors. When I came to the Bay Area in 1980, clubs such as Rolands, Pearls, Pasands, Capurros, Pier 47, Bajones, Caspian, Reginaís, Rasellaís and Seven Hills were all home to me. Jazz Vocals were then welcomed in all Jazz clubs. It was a tremendous time with incredible musicians to accompany me. Throughout I have done private parties and events for all occasions. ...
