Labek has been singing and performing since the age of nine. After winning a full scholarship to Cornell University, where she received an MFA, she moved to NYC. There, she pursued a performance career, starring in a number of repertory plays, working on parts in TV and on Broadway. Throughout her career she spent many hours developing her craft, preparing, and finally bringing all her experience and wisdom to recording her vocal artistry. She moved to Boston where she presently is part of the faculty at Berklee College of Music. The combination of life experiences; spiritual and musical development has produced an artist with fearless integrity, an original, with a powerful voice who must be heard. The choice of material is always meaningfully dealt with in terms of her individuality and passion for storytelling. She features world-class musicians who compliment her arrangements and she chooses new works with songwriters whose songs are so well crafted that some are inseparable from the selection of standards. ~ Bio http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/labek

Labek's new release "What A Woman Knows" is filled with poignant titles. She chose songs for her third CD that feature lyrics most women can relate to. Cover titles like Sting's "Fragile," Doc Pomus' and Dr. John's "A World I Never Made," and originals that include "Life Is A Gift," "Trouble Blues," and "Love Provides" are interpreted from a particularly feminine point of view.
The musical excellence of award-winning musicians on three different sessions (Latin, Blues and Acoustic) provide the listener a unique variety to savor. Arrangements by Jack Perricone enhance Labek's interpretations that are rich both in wisdom and musicality.

"Women have long been the quiet regenerators of the Earth. And now, we are finally finding our louder voices through cries of outrage, and reminders of the joy found in loving and finding compassion for each other on this small planet." -Labek
