I am Eleanor “C-PASS” Jones, and singing is both my love and my life.  Not surprisingly, the first question I’m usually asked is, “What does ‘C-PASS’ mean?”  C-PASS is an acronym I developed to always remind me of the standards I have set for myself and that I strive to achieve in every performance.  I endeavor to deliver a class act that is polished, reflecting sophistication in both the complexity and technicality of my selections, and to deliver them with passion emanating from the depths of my soul.  Thus: Class, Polish, And Sophisticated Soul.

I love singing!  Singing is the way I communicate best.  It is an outward expression of much of my emotion, inner thought, and feeling.  I allow myself to become vulnerable to my audience through singing.  This, to me, is true giving to others.  Because I sing from my heart, I show my audience my true self.  What you see and hear is me.  I not only entertain; I give my listeners access to my soul.  I use my voice to touch people personally and emotionally.

I’m a performer without attitude.  Not glitzy, theatrical or motivated to achieve super stardom.  I don’t use gimmicky, try to copy or imitate anyone else, or pretend to be someone I am not. I am genuine and sing for the purpose of enhancing other people’s lives. Thus, my own life is enhanced as well.

I feel privileged to have been blessed with the gift of music.  I credit God with giving me a voice that can evoke a range of emotions and a sensitivity to write songs that touch people’s hearts.  To see evidence of successful communication on the faces in my audience is my pure joy
