Sharing the Gift of Song

Dr. Maya Angelou proclaimed,

“Jolie sings with such passion…

and compassion!”

Jolie’s passion is sharing the gift of song with the world. She draws from her life experience as she performs or works with aspiring artists.

The Hartford Courant (CT) noted she is a “gifted, versatile vocalist who’s as much at home soaring on opera arias and celestial hymns as she is getting down with funky blues and earthy jazz.”
