Born bi-racial before it was “cool”, daughter of famous Beat poet, Ted Joans, baptized by the live jazz of her native New York City, and Detroit's Motown soul in her early years, followed by sunny southern California pop as a teen, and still gigging after 5 decades on international stages, Daline Jones continues to create a beautiful life with music she loves.
Before moving to Mexico in 2005, Daline Jones spent 10 years headlining San Francisco's iconic Starlight Room, on the 21st floor of the Sir Francis Drake. Now, twenty years in Mexico have cemented her reputation as a singer who can sing almost any genre, although jazz and vintage R&B are her mainstays. She sings every week at the best venues in Cabo, recording in the studio, touring internationally, and has no plans to slow down.
Daline says the key to happiness is to “Make a living doing something you would gladly do for free. To me, that is happiness and success”
“There is only one person in Los Cabos for whom the term chanteuse leaps to mind. That would be Daline Jones, the esteemed jazz vocalist…”

"The gorgeous and unforgettable vocalist Daline Jones is a living expression of talent continuing to blossom!"

THE BACKSTORY ON STEVIE WONDER SITTING IN ONSTAGE WITH DALINE:
“When Stevie Wonder gave me his hand to be led onstage, time stopped”… Daline says her musical peak experience happened on November 11, 2020, when Stevie Wonder showed up (unexpectedly and unannounced) at her gig at Cabo's jazz venue, Jazz On The Rocks. The band didn't know Stevie was in the house until a waiter came up and told them, "Stevie Wonder wants to come up onstage with you!" Daline remembers, “We thought Stevie wanted to play, so Diego offered him the grand piano, but he loved the way Diego was playing. Instead, Stevie joined me in jamming on ”Summertime", putting his personal “Wonder-full” vibe on it as only Stevie Wonder could do." Luckily for all, a waiter captured the spontaneous performance on a cell phone so we can all enjoy the video forever. See it on Daline's home page and on YouTube.
