The soulful siren got her start opening for Marvin Gaye at the age of nine, and has since worked with legendary artists Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Cher, P. Diddy, Sinead O’Connor, Chaka Khan and numerous others over the course of her multi-faceted career. “I thought the heavens had opened up and rained down some of the best singing and performance style I had ever heard,” professed Patti Austin on Sessoms. Her new album LIFE is her third studio effort and first foray into the realm of jazz.
