World music artist Eleanor Dubinsky was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, but through traveling and living in Europe, Latin and South America, found the voice of her own emotionality in the languages and cultures of other nationalities. The NYC-based chanteuse speaks French, Spanish, Czech, Portuguese and Italian, but her most fluent communication skills are through music.
“I can have empathetic experiences in multiple cultures to create music that moves me and moves other people,” the singer-songwriter explains. “Through my art and music, I want to reach people that don’t get paid attention to—I want to connect people.”
Dubinsky’s music encompasses the sultriness of bossa nova, the longing of soul, the vulnerability of folk, and the earthy sophistication of jazz. The polyglot chanteuse has been favorably compared to Sade, Portishead, Brazilian Girls, and Joni Mitchell. Peter Johnson from KUNC FM 91.5 praised her “silky, sultry voice” and altruistic aspirations. “We were impressed by her sense of mission as an artist, and we couldn’t help swaying to her music!” Mishmash Magazine noted: “When it comes to the sweet tunes of the enchanting Eleanor Dubinsky, moments of love are explored with a sincerity so formidable that there’s a constant battle as to whether you should be seduced by something so achingly personal.” French Culture Guides named her “Best Up and Coming Francophone Singer in NYC.” Her songs have been featured on MTV, Lifetime and Animal Planet, ads for American Express, radio stations throughout Mexico, NPR, and her new song, “Wait For You,” recently won the Sennheiser recording contest at the 2012 ASCAP EXPO.
