Bio:

A Grand Prairie, Texas native, Lessie Vonner’s love of music began at a young age when she

and she eventually chose to attend the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New

York City. She currently performs in many venues throughout NYC and has performed in various

music scenes across the world. She also performs in numerous groups around the city and has

worked with artists such as Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Lizzo, Kathy Sledge, and many more. Lessie has
