Singer

Vonda Shepard was born in New York in 1963 and grew up on California. She is one of four sisters mostly raised by her father Richmond, who was an actor and mime. She began playing piano as a child and spent her early musical career as a backing singer. Her backup performances included Al Jarreau's "Hear's Horizon" (1988), Ricky Lee Jones "Flying Cowboys" (1989) and Richard Elliot's "The Power of Suggestion" (1991). She also toured with Jackson Brown. One of her early successes was "Can't We Try", a 1987 duet with Dan Hill on his self-titled album. She released her first album Vonda Shepard in 1989 on the Reprise label. The single "Don't Cry Ilene" made #17 on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary chart. Her second album, The Radical Light (1992) failed to achieve a great deal of success, and Reprise dropped her shortly after its release. Shepard spent the next few years without a label, but continued playing, especially at L.A. clubs. She released her third album, It's Good, Eve, in 1996.
