Wendy Moten's impressive career has always defied convention. From her start as a solo R&B artist in the 80s to decades of touring the world singing duets and backup vocals for such artists as Julio Iglesias, Michael McDonald, Vince Gill, Tim McGraw, Martina McBride and more, she's most recently known from her national exposure on Season 21 of NBC’s “The Voice.” As one of the most experienced vocalists in the history of the show, she shocked millions of viewers on live television when she tripped and fell over a stage monitor, breaking both arms. She triumphantly returned to the stage taking second place in the overall competition behind an act 30+ years her junior.
Moten is a best-in-class, in-demand performer with the ability to sing any genre, including country, jazz and classic standards. With recent solo performances at Lincoln Center and Birdland Jazz Club in New York to the Grand Ole Opry and currently touring with Vince Gill, this soulful singer serves as an inspiration to others exemplifying the power of pursuing one's dreams.
