Kathy Wade is a 2026 Inductee into the Cincinnati Jazz Hall of Fame, a two-time Regional EMMY® Award-winning Executive Producer, internationally celebrated jazz vocalist, and lifelong arts activist whose career spans more than five decades. Her voice—both musical and civic—has helped shape the cultural fabric of Cincinnati and beyond.
Named the #1 Jazz and Blues Vocalist on MP3.com, her recording “Time to Say Good-bye” was featured on the Sci-Fi Network’s First Wave soundtrack and highlighted in Essence Magazine for her innovative arts education work. She has performed throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, the Caribbean, and North Africa, and has shared the stage with legends including Eartha Kitt, Dionne Warwick, Nancy Wilson, Anita Baker, George Benson, Al Jarreau, Whitney Houston, and Ramsey Lewis. She has also appeared as a featured soloist with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra and other regional ensembles.
A graduate of Withrow High School, Xavier University/Edgecliff College, and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, Wade combines artistic excellence with educational leadership. In 1992, she co-founded Learning Through Art, Inc., which has served more than 1.1 million participants nationwide through award-winning programs such as Books Alive! For Kids®. The recipient of the Ohio Governor’s Award for the Arts and numerous civic honors, Kathy remains committed to one guiding belief: artists must give back to the communities that sustain them.
