 Jeffrey Alani Stanfill grew
up singing in his father’s church and grew to love not only Gospel Music, but
Opera, Musical Theater and Latin Music as well. His College years were spent at
Florida State University where he majored in Vocal Performance and minored in
Theater. He later moved to Boston, Mass and attended New England Conservatory of
Music with an emphasis in Operatic Performance. After Boston, Jeffrey moved to
NYC to chase his dreams being a star. Jeffrey began singing in Night Clubs
around New York City as well as regional theaters. Jeffrey soon began a long
career at sea, singing aboard several Norwegian Cruise Lines ships with the Jean
Ann Ryan Company. Jeffrey discovered early in his career, that he had a knack
for helping other singers work through their vocal issues. He began to offer his
services to cast mates and in return, they referred other students to him. In
2006, Jeffrey landed a four-year contract as the Principal Singer in the “Late
Nite Latin Show,” in the Tropicana Hotel in Atlantic City. Jeffrey’s journey in
music has taken him to many parts of the world. His vocal technique has allowed
him to sing healthily into his 40’s. He is proud to offer the Swedish/ Italian
school of singing to the students of Dance Designs. His credo: LET YOUR VOICE
SOAR!
