Singer, actor and vocal coach Wanda L. Houston grew up performing – acting in her father’s theater company and singing with her mother, brother and sister in the Houston Singers. After receiving her undergraduate degree in Vocal Performance (with a concentration in Opera), Houston moved from Chicago to Los Angeles to continue her work on the musical theater and concert stages, which included touring with Mary Wells, The Platters, and Martha and The Vandellas; singing in Las Vegas at the Sands Hotel in Steve Silver’s Beach Blanket Babylon; and acting in theater productions that toured the world. A stint in NYC saw her performing on and off Broadway, and singing with a Grammy-nominated gospel choir. Since 2011, Houston has lived in the RI region (most recently, she settled in Sheffield, Mass.) but that hasn’t put the brakes on her busy schedule. You can find her at venues throughout the Northeast performing with The Wanda Houston Band, as well as with the gospel group Brothers and Sisters, the HBH Band and in jazz duos and trios, and at the Goshen Congregational Church where she directs the choir.
