Phyllis Chapell

Phyllis Chapell and Siora| Phyllis Chapell has spent her life developing a universal musical style singing “world songs.”  Her repertoire includes songs in 13 languages from Brazil, Latin America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, as well as American folk, jazz, originals and popular music. She has been named as one of the top 500 jazz vocalists of all time by Scott Yanow (Down Beat, Jazz Times and AllMusicGuide).  She has also won song competitions for her original music; and was chosen to be one of Indie-Music’s Top 25. For fifteen years she collaborated with a brilliant pianist/composer/arranger, Dan Kleiman. Dan died suddenly in 2010…and then, another loss, in 2012—the death of Phyllis’ husband, Dr. Mark Chapell. After these tragedies, she has rebuilt her life around her music…continuing her ensemble, now called Phyllis Chapell & SIORA.
