made a rad music video for www.goodingmusic.com.
Kenya
Kenya was born in Atlantic City, New jersey and raised in a small town called Pleaseantville, New
jersey. Both of her parents are Jamaican. She started singing at the age of 5 and was inspired by
Whitney Houston, Gladys Knight and Aretha Franklin. The first time she sang on stage was in her
elementary school play. She played Glinda the good witch in the musical The WIZ. It was the best
feeling when she was on that stage. Kenya loves performing with The Glamazons. This is her dream
come true! Kenya is very passionate, comfortable in her own skin, and being herself. She looks forward
to being a role model for other full figured singers out there!

Founder - MERYL SHERWOOD
“The Glamazons” are the brainchild of Meryl Sherwood AKA Ladyfinger. After strutting her stuff and
flaunting her assets in the downtown NYC cabaret/burlesque scene, Meryl longed to perform in a girl
group. Her dream was to show the world that talent comes in all sizes. She auditioned girls from all
walks of life and a bevy of buxom song and dance beauties were born! The name “Glamazons” was
derived by Meryl, and is a perfect fit for these Glamorous Amazons! Meryl was born and raised in
Brooklyn, NY and started singing and dancing at the age of three. A graduate of NYU with a BFA in
Drama and an MA in Educational Theatre, Meryl played the role of “Cha-Cha DiGregorio" in the year
2000 on the National Tour of the musical "Grease", which opened at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. She
worked as a plus size model and was featured in fashion shows for Lane Bryant and Imitation of Christ,
the opening segment of “Say Yes to the Dress: Big Bliss”, on The View modeling for Kleinfeld’s, on The
Today Show, and in Marie Claire, Vibe, Gotham and Glamour Magazines. In 2001, Meryl founded the
plus size pop/burlesque girl group, The Glamazons. In 2009, Meryl got married to Jason Sherwood on
an episode of the Style network’s “Whose Wedding is it Anyway?”. Their wedding was planned in eight
days while touring the east coast with The Glamazons promoting their debut album Meryl’s last
performance with The Glamazons was on November 1, 2010 at a benefit for Disney’s “Only Make
Believe” foundation at The Shubert Theatre on Broadway. After having both of her feet operated on, she
is no longer performing but continues to produce, cast, direct and manage The Glamazons.
