Dedication, drive, focus and practice come naturally to Canadian vocalist, Patrice Jegou. Patrice trained as an ice skater from the time she was seven and went professional at eighteen, first as a coach and later as a performer in a touring ice show. Popular music and jazz caught her attention and she redirected her focus. She listened, studied and eventually-- with the help of her jazz-loving husband, Yinka Oyelese--she gathered some of her favorite jazz musicians and arrangers to record her latest CD, If It Ain’t Love.
