Courtenay Washington

Jazz Vocalist

Christchurch Area

Courtenay Washington
Courtenay is undoubtedly one of Christchurch's finest jazz vocalists. She has been performing both locally and internationally for the past ten years to much critical acclaim.
Her voice has been described as a 'delectable combination of whisky and honey'. Her smooth, sultry style is unmistakable.

Courtenay was born in Detroit, USA but was raised in Christchurch New Zealand. With her father being a jazz singer, it was natural for Courtenay to follow the same path.

Upon completion of high school, Courtenay attended the Christchurch jazz school. From there, Courtenay's love of performing took over, and she has been doing it ever since! She has played at festivals both nationally and abroad, the opening of the 'Westpac Trust Centre' and performed at many live sporting, cultural and corporate events around the country. Her penchant for musical theatre has seen her perform in The King and I, Chess, Hair and the Sound of Music; among others. She was also selected to perform for HRH Queen Elizabeth II on her last royal visit to New Zealand

She performs as duo with guitarist/keyboards, as trio adding bass, or as quartet adding drums for more funky feel which is also suitable for dance.

Ideal For: a background act suitable for product release, corporate function
