Short Bio

Born and raised in San Francisco, Bettina Devin was fortunate to have parents who believed in the value and necessity of on-going and never-ending training, and put their money where their mouths were.

She began studying classical singing (Bel Canto) as a 15 year old, and eventually applied that training to her burgeoning passion for Broadway and Jazz repertoire. Her formative influences came from a diverse group including Dionne Warwick, Julie Andrews, Ella, Sara, and Streisand.
In the 80's in L.A., she worked for a company that produced demos for would-be songwriters from all over the company, that called for vocalists who could sing in any style. She was called on to record vocals in the styles of R&B, Country, Jazz, and Pop. Her first headlining gig was at the premiere jazz room in San Diego (The Catamaran), a popular venue for the likes of jazz greats like Sara Vaughan and Carmen McRae.

Soon thereafter, she landed a voiceover agent in L.A., and moved there. She continued to sing in L.A. at well-known night spots, including The Playboy Club, Vine Street Bar and Grill, and Le Cafe.
