REVIEWS...
Tenya performed as one of our opening “prelude” artist on our Summer Pops series last year. Although we had not worked with Ms. Colemon before, her performance was first rate and very polished. Her strong vocals and song selection made for a great opening for our concert. Tenya is a highly recommended performer!!!

Charlotte Symphony Orchestra
Ms. Colemon displayed elegance & grace much beyond her years and her music selections were very much on point and an asset to our event. Her vocal accomplishments are evident from the first note. We cannot wait to host another event to have her back! A rising jazz star!
