It is, Tezz Yancey believes, a perfect blending of an artist and a cause. Just as the Leonard P. Zakim Center for Integrative
Therapies at Dana-Farber helps cancer patients and their families gain energy and strength during treatment by soothing their
minds, bodies, and spirit, Yancey’s multifaceted show benefiting the Zakim Center will seek to help audience members
find their "inner pulse" through a journey of different musical styles.
The singer/songwriter, dancer, choreographer, actor, and model (to name a few) recently finished his one man show
in Las
Vegas to rave reviews. Anthony DeValle of the Las Vegas Review-Journal says about Tezz, "Tezz Yancey
… has the dancing, singing, and acting talents of a pro. But it’s that look in his eye – that magical something
that says, ‘Watch me’ – that makes him impossible not to notice."
"Rhythmic Journey" takes the audience on an incredibly entertaining trek through several different musical styles.
From the percussive beats of African, Brazilian and Latin Grooves, through the jazz and swing era. From the searing guitars
of rock-n-roll, to the catchy sing-a-long-clap-your hands hooks of disco and funk...right on up to the present!
Having trained at Boston’s prestigious Berklee
College of Music and The Boston Conservatory (where he received a Musical Theater scholarship), Yancey brings incredible vigor
and athleticism to his performances and has one of the most diverse portfolios this side of Sammy Davis Jr. In addition to
headlining his own hit Las Vegas show for two years, he's tapped with Gregory Hines, been the featured vocalist at Boston’s
Symphony Hall, performed on stage with Andrew Lloyd Weber’s "Starlight Express" and most recently in Clint
Holmes’ hit Broadway-bound musical "Just Another Man," appeared on television's CSI, and toured Asia and Europe as a
singer. Not surprisingly, the multitalented Yancey produced, recorded, mixed, and even played every instrument on his debut
CD, "Moments of Clarity."
