Danita Mumphard grew up in a family with a mother who serves as a minister of music and a father who is the bassist for the renowned jazz group Trio Trés Bien. Music was always in our home and in my heart, Danita commented. How could I not want to sing when I constantly heard live gospel and jazz played under my roof!
Danita began singing as a youth in churches with her mother, Gwendolyn Thompson, a retired music teacher in the St. Louis Public Schools, and her older sister. As Danita grew in her knowledge of Gods Word and in vocal maturity, she moved from choir and ensemble work and began performing as a solo artist.
Danita performs with legendary jazz group, Trio Trés Bien. When a gig cropped up at the last minute and we needed a singer, my brothers and I thought wed give Danita a try, father Harold Thompson said. The crowds reaction to her was so favorable that we have kept her as our featured vocalist.
Danita has recently completed her debut jazz CD entitled "With Love" on the Stratosphere Music Group label that includes live and studio performances. "With Love" was released October 2005. Fever and When I Fall in Love are performed Danita-style, with intricate vocalization and stratospheric notes that make the songs her own. Original compositions Sometime Soon and Wait Until the Time is Right will keep listeners enthralled.
Danita has been featured with Trio Trés Bien for numerous large events including:
Faces of Love production at Westport Playhouse
Ozzie Smiths retirement celebration
St. Louis Urban League annual dinners
Shows spotlighting Danita include:
Whitaker Jazz Festival at Missouri Botanical Garden
Jazz shows in Laumeier Sculpture Park
Arts in the Park in Edwardsville, Ill.
Her television appearances include feature spots on Show Me St. Louis and the Fox Morning Show. She has performed with JazzThe Group and is featured on saxophonist Rod Tates CDs, The Secret Place and Driven. She has been the opening act for gospel legends Ron Winans and Tramaine Hawkins, and has been featured in cities such as: St. Louis, MO, Atlanta, GA, Carbondale, IL and Louisville, KY.

I just want you to come on over and listen to my newly written song "Patiently" Which I wrote together with the Johansson brothers. A kind of smooth, jazzish soultune..
sorry about that I must have given you the wrong one.
That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all crazy because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like free samples and stuff instead of money.
But anyways, the right site is

it's the one I am making $550 a week with putting in about 28 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm motivated.
After you get your membership make sure you sign up with with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay you the most, I got $50 for one that took me 35 minutes today. You'll see what I'm rambling about when you start.
Brit started taking them too and she's making $850 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.
Alright well me and Jake are getting ready to leave, just give me a call or I'll see you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership. bye
