Esther started her professional career in earnest as a vocalist when capturing the title of Miss Black Washington DC where she was born & raised. She toured Germany with the Miss Black America Tour and her many guest appearances included national and international venues and many guest appearances on national television and radio programs. Musical theater was a natural transition including performances at Ford’s Theater in “Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope.”, as well as “Tambourines to Glory” with the Black American Theater Club in D.C. and traveling productions of Fats Waller’s “Ain’t Misbehavin”. A diverse performer with an extensive repertoire in Jazz, R&B, Pop, Spiritual and Gospel, Esther carved her niche and enjoyed working and recording with a multitude of well known artists. She landed a recording contract with Friends and Company Records after a producer heard vocals she had recorded for others. She recorded two successful dance albums for Friends and another successful album for RCA records. Esther has opened for the Temptations, at the Savoy in New York City, and Peaches and Herb at Baltimore’s Harbor Place. Esther performs regularly at the “East Coast Jazz Festival” and has performed for “The Chesapeake Jazz Society”, “Live Music Now” and the “Mid-Atlantic Jazz Showcase” in New York. She has been a guest performer at the annual Kennedy Center Kwanzaa Celebration, and on the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage. Esther sings with the Voices of Peoples Gospel choir at Peoples Church in DC, and is a regular performer in their Jazz Vesper series. An engaging emcee, Esther produced and directed three successful musical variety shows, as well as emceed the Dumbarton Concert Series of Washington DC. Forgot i had this and remembering selling the promo LP and ripping it as i always liked her voice and dance tunes. Now the rarest of her three albums recorded plus 10 x 45,s. She had a few spins on the Northern & Club scenes back in the day. A very good all round album.
