Dagmar comes from a musical family: her grandpa and granma made and repaired the stringed instruments for the New York Philharmonic; her mom sang and acted in NY theater. Dagmar was trained classically starting at an early age. She loved to listen to the rock'n'roll legends of the '50's and '60's and learned their material. She writes many of her own songs (Billboard Song Contest Honorable Mention) and holds many copyrights. She put together Dagmar and The Seductones in December 2001, mixing original music with rock'n'roll, rockabilly, blues and other roots styles. Her electric stage presence and sultry soaring style have engaged audiences in diverse venues -- including concerts, festivals, clubs, honkytonks, roadhouses, swing dances, weddings, and parties large and small. Her tours have included Europe and Africa, where she entertained the U.S. troops. She was featured on National Public Radio early on; received awards for video soundtracks; was a featured artist on BLUES DELUXE, a nationally syndicated radio show; and continues to get airplay around the world. She sings the lead vocals on Dagmar and The Seductones' CDs, “Little Bitta Love” (2004, TYM Records No. 1001) and “Come Back To Me,” (2007, TYM Records No. 1002), all available on (iTunes, and more iTunes).
