As the founder/drummer/vocalist/producer/songwriter of the pioneering, all-female band KLYMAXX, the mega-talented, gorgeous and divaliciously sexy Bernadette Cooper was all business when it came to being focused, confident, uniquely innovative and daring to a fault in leading the group to big success during the decade of the 1980’s. MEETING IN THE LADIE’S ROOM, the group’s history-making, groundbreaking 1984 Multi-Platinum LP that produced the timeless hit singles ‘The Men All Pause,’ ‘I Miss You,’ and the funky title track, Cooper, along with band-mates Lorena Stewart (vocals), Cheryl Cooley (guitar), Lynn Malsby, Robbin Grider (keyboards) and Joyce Irby (bass guitar/vocals) collectively hold the distinction as being the ONLY all-female R&B/Pop Band to go Platinum to this day.

Fast forwarding to the present, Cooper continues to work her sonically-creative magic performing to her legion of fans around the world with her sizzling-hot, entertainingly sexy one-woman show “KLYMAXX Presents Bernadette Cooper ‘Diva And A Turntable'” – a compilation of hit songs that she’s produced and written for KLYMAXX, all-group Funk trio Madame X, and other artists. ‘The show is about my legacy, which was fueled by the success of KLYMAXX, and is also a celebration of the continuation of the “Girl Power” movement.’ said Cooper. ‘There’s no separation with me and music. I AM MUSIC. I love being on stage and entertaining the crowd. That’s what keeps me happy.’ With her musical roots in the genre of Gospel, Cooper is currently hard at work flexing her ever-evolving brand of genius in creating a new concept called ‘DivaGospel,’ which she describes as a ‘nice, beautiful, gentle blend of secular music with a Gospel sound to it that’s really hot.’ And with the incredibly successful pedigree that Bernadette has in the industry for three decades thus far, we can be assured that ‘DivaGospel’ will be fully embraced by the music-loving masses fairly quickly!
