She has performed at New York's top venues. She has performed and recorded with Marcus Viana, Cyro Baptista, The Rain Forest Band, Cesar Camargo Mariano, Sadao Watanabe, Gato Barbieri, Hiram Bullock, among others. She opened for Bob Dylan's Brazilian Tour, performed at the Taste of Jazz Festival in Miami, and has traveled the world as a featured performer.

Cornelius Bates is an artist for our times and an artist for all times. Born in Memphis, Tennessee and educated at Howard University in Washington, DC, Cornelius now calls New York City home. From his travels to Africa, Brazil, Europe, and all over America, he has laced together a feeling in his vocal presentation that draws upon the soulfulness of many cultural influences and connects with the heart of his audiences across a wide spectrum. Cornelius' musical influences include Nat King Cole, Johnny Hartmann, Al Jarreau, and Tony Bennett, as well as the Brazilian sounds of bossa nova and samba. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
