Though born in New York City, Wendy Woo grew up in Colorado. Her energetic personality, musical skills, and spirited songwriting have made her a media and fan favorite.
Multicultural in both heritage and outlook, Woo displays a blend of soul, vibrancy, and wild child attitude. A passionate live performer who connects instantly with her audiences, she has been playing to sold out venues every week and attracting national music industry attention.
Whether playing by herself or with her band, she draws you in and holds you there. Her voice is simultaneously intimate and assured. Her songs are wide-ranging in style but always pure in emotion: from down and dirty blues to defiant ex-lover funks to summer day sambas to wistful ballads. Her guitar-playing includes fretwork riffs so unusual they always generate cheers.
Her talent has not gone unnoticed. Her music has been featured in "Uncommon Goals," a 1999 Discovery Channel documentary about the gold medal-winning U.S. women's soccer team, and the Food Network's "FoodNation with Bobby Flay." She also sings the theme song for "Good Day Colorado," the weekday morning show on Denver's Fox affiliate.
In addition, she has won numerous accolades including:
* Best Singer/Songwriter (1999, 2000, 2002, 2003), Best Nationally Undiscovered Artist, and Best Acoustic Artist (Denver's Westword).
* Independent Artist of the Year (2003) (Hapi Skratch Entertainment).
