Bio
From Elektra to Warner Chappell to ABC - Jackie Mendez and her confounding voice have helped exalt the standards on American and Hispanic pop culture, and stir the hearts of the fortunate handful, who have witnessed her talent.
Intense delivery, angelic melodies and harmonies, irreproachable phrasing, and heart-stirring/multi-lingual lyricist - this, and more - is Jackie Mendez.
Born in Miami, FL - of Cuban and Lebanese decent - she is well acquainted with mulitiple odd-rhythms, exotic melodies, and the percussive top-heavy feel of Afro-Cuban music that has leaked in almost every facet of world culture.
"I wanted to remind people I'm just flesh and blood. I falter. I am poor. I am blind. I am pitiable. I am naked. But I'm here and that is the blessing. The gift of life." - Jill Scott
