Deb Chamberlin

DEB CHAMBERLIN’s background is as eclectic as her music. She has been a performer since childhood … singing 3-part harmonies with her sisters, winning piano and voice competitions, piano accompanist at her sister’s ballet school, and lead roles in shows throughout high school and college, where she was a Music Theatre Major. Her life took a surprising turn after college, when she ran off and joined Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. As a Showgirl for two years, she danced and hung upside down from her ankle on a rope twenty feet high, in all the major arenas from Miami to Seattle. Eventually Deb made her way to NYC, where she was trained as a singer and vocal coach by Katie Agresta, famed vocal coach to the stars. Deb has had voice studios in both NYC and the Philadelphia/South Jersey area, with students such as Carole King, Tom Keifer (of “Cinderella”), Eric Bazilian (of “The Hooters”), Mike ‘Slo-Mo’ Brenner, and more. Her voice has been heard up and down the East Coast in TV and Radio jingles, for Comcast, Quaker Bridge mall, NYNEX Yellow Pages, Pathmark, the nightly Pennsylvania Lottery Drawing Theme Song, and more. She met and became songwriting partners with Robert Wynn in 1988, getting songs published and held by major artists and placed in an indie film during their early years together. Now married and parents of an 12-year-old daughter, they’re still writing and recording together. Robert produced Deb’s debut CD, “Secrets of My Universe,” released in 2002, which received airplay on Helen Leicht’s WXPN “Philly Local” Show. Deb has performed in top venues including NYC's Bitter End & CBGB's, and Philadelphia's Tin Angel, The Point, Wachovia Spectrum, National Constitution Center, Havana, as well as a live performance on Philadelphia's NBC-10 morning "10!" Show.

Robert produced and released Deb’s sophomore CD, “I AM SHE,” in April 2007, on their indie label, ESAH Music…a captivating work of songs, calling us to feel and embrace the power of the Human Spirit, with tracks like "Soul Missing" .... "My Own Armageddon" ... title cut "She" ... a pulsating cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" ... & more. Passionate and cutting lyrics, perfectly married to memorable hooks and rhythmic grooves, pack a double punch with their potent message and masterful production. Inspired from 360 degrees of real life, Deb holds nothing back in expressing how it is for her as a woman in today’s world. Fans of Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Alanis Morissette, Annie Lennox… will love this CD!

Since traveling to Israel, in 1999 and 2000, Deb has taken an active role in supporting global tolerance and sustainable peace on the planet. Recognizing the impact young people have in the world, in 2003 she co-founded “The Changing Our World (COW) Project,” a 501 (c)(3) non-profit teen group in South Jersey which uses creative self-expression to encourage leadership, compassion and contribution. The COW Project hosted a delegation of Arab & Jewish Israeli teens from Peace Child Israel in 2006 for a 10-day cultural exchange tour, which culminated in a grand finale performance at Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center, with 60 American, Jewish and Arab Israeli teens standing together with Deb on stage, in a powerful call for global tolerance and partnerships for peace. They premiered “THE TIME HAS COME” – a new anthem for global tolerance, which Deb and Robert co-wrote and produced with featured performances from many of Philly’s favorite recording artists (Phil Roy, Mutlu, John Francis, Melody Gardot, Jim Boggia, Lauren Hart, Chinua Hawk, Caryn Lin & Deb), and whose itunes download proceeds benefit ongoing work for global tolerance. This anthem is being enthusiastically received throughout New Jersey, all the way to the State House in Trenton, as Deb and her COW Project teens perform for the State Human Relations Commission and the NJ Summit to Combat Hate, uniting diverse peoples and organizations through pop music and shared dreams.

Deb is passionately committed to making music that inspires, evokes, entertains and leaves her listeners wanting more.
