As a soloist, Contessa has performed at the renowned Catalina’s Bar and Grill, improvised at the Ritz Carlton; jammed at the famous Sportsman’s Lodge and was accompanied by Bonnie Raitt’s keyboardist at several benefits for the homeless. She has sung with various groups at the United Nations, St. Michael’s Cathedral, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, the Alex Theater, Staples Center and several of the California State Universities, including Northridge, Long Beach and Los Angeles.
