Biography
Yaz Alexander is the lead artist in the group, although an exponent of the Reggae and Jazz genres, Yaz's vocal is so cosmopolitan it naturally crosses over into any other genre of music you could care to mention. Inspired by flamboyant female superstars past and present, Yaz particularly draws influence from Billie Holiday, Shirley Bassey and the first lady of diva, Diana Ross. Because of her love for reggae, by default Bob Marley is her number one musical inspiration and the influence of Bob is evident in almost every one of Yaz's lyrics - powerful, edifying, sometimes political but always containing a moral and/or message for the listener. The stage is the natural domain for Yaz Alexander and like all of the great stage artisans she works it artistically, creatively and professionally and always gives audiences something stimulating to focus on. The great thing about Yaz Alexander & Black Pearl is not only do they look good on stage, they actually have the music, voices and ability to back up their image.
