Yvonne Sanchez first performance was in Poland as a percussionist with the Polish rock star legend Joseph Skrzek.

In 1997 she won the poll held by the Czech magazine Harmony which covers classical, jazz and world music as the best jazz singer and in 1998 Yvonne was awarded with Vocalist of the Year by the Czech Jazz Society. Yvonne Sanchez has always talked about Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Billie Holliday in particular as her main inspirations but except her passion for jazz standards in 1998 she started a new project called “Brazilian Groove” interpreting songs based on Latin American rhytms such as Bossa Nova and Samba, especially written by her favorite Brazilian composer, Antonio Carlos Jobim.
