Mortonette (Jenkins) Stephens Bio.

Trained from an early age as a classical violinist, Mortonette won her first recording contract as a singer/songwriter at age fifteen. She subsequently became a lead singer for Quincy Jones’ Wattsline, (working for him also on Michael Jackson’s Off the Wall CD as a backup singer). Mortonette headed the Quincy Jones vocal workshop where she taught ninety-five students weekly. She sang and appeared in Alex Haley’s Roots and was the on-set vocal trainer in certain scenes of that epic TV movie series. Mortonette has toured the world with Elton John, Quincy Jones, Paul Anka, Linda Ronstadt, Timothy B. Schmit/Eagles and has graced the stage and recording studios with many, many stars — Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Benny Golson, Michael McDonald, Eric Clapton, Cannonball Adderley, Josh Groban, Luther Vandross, Aaron Neville, Celine Dion, Don Henley, Billy Joel, and the American Music Awards with Poison to name a few.

Mortonette toured Europe for eight years with legendary Tony Award winner Linda Hopkins, as a primary lead singer with the show Wild Women Blues.
