Quinetta Peterson

IMG_6317-2.jpg

Instruments: Vocalist

Place of Birth: 

Current Residence: Philadelphia, PA

​

Quinetta affectionately known as “Quin”, has been singing from a young age. From the halls of middle school to the church choirs she could be found singing! It’s been said you could hear her full voice from a distance and know “that’s Quin!” Currently that distance has expanded and Quin has performed on multiple platforms throughout the Eastern United States.

 

Quin’s love of music started at very young age with multiple influences! Many would assume, because of the deep roots her family has in church, that the love was born there, but that’s just a portion. Around her home artist like Whitney Houston, Patti Labelle, and Anita Baker had a strong presence!! After belting out a few of those notes Quin realized she could actually sing! One of her favorite singers was her very own Aunt Tryphosa “Phosie” Williams, whose voice was somewhat of a Stephanie Mills mixed with a heavy New York accent! From singing to writing Quin loves all the creativeness that is found in music!

 

Quin’s spiritual roots and empathic nature helps her to connect to her audience! Often shy, but you can never really tell once she starts to sing! So be on the look out for Quin!!! Better yet listen out for her, so you can be the next to say "That's Quin!!!"
