Vaughnette Bigford is a vocalist, entertainment entrepreneur, band leader, and new host of the revamped, iconic, youth talent show, 12 and Under. She has been featured at every major jazz event in Trinidad and at the Tobago Jazz Experience, Barbados Jazz Excursion and the Berklee Summer Concert Series among others.

"Vaughnette Bigford is the modern Creole chanteuse who has made the local [Trinidad and Tobago] songbook the new jazz standard in the Caribbean...the premier jazz stylist in these islands whose palette knows no geographic boundaries. Tone, beauty, presence: the definition of the New World African. This is an artist who can make it anywhere." Nigel A. Campbell, publisher Jazz in the Islands.
