Deborah Berg (musician)
Deborah Berg (born on November 3) is an American musician, singer-songwriter, and composer. Prior to starting her solo career, she was one half of the British-American duo Eye to Eye.

Early Life
Berg grew up in the Pacific Northwest, the youngest of four children of United Methodist minister, Darrel Berg(1), and a former touring gospel marimba and piano player. In the 1960s, her family moved from Washington to Nebraska, where she sang with several groups, including a swing band, gospel group, and local rock bands(3). Her interest in ballet and modern dance led her to move to San Francisco in 1979, where she joined an all women’s dance collective called Mostly Women Moving.(3)

Eye to Eye
It was after one of these performances where she met Julian Marshall, who approached her for a project he was working on in England. They recorded the single "Am I Normal" in 1981 on Automatic Records, followed by their self-titled album "Eye to Eye" on Warner Bros. later that year.(3)

Their single "Nice Girls" hit #37 on the U.S. Billboard Top 40. Most reviews mentioned Berg's distinctive vocals, using terms like "haunting soprano"(4) and "smooth, often jazz-tinged voice."(5) Together, Marshall and Berg released "Shakespeare Stole My Baby" in 1983 (Warner Bros.)(6) and "Clean Slate" (12th Street Records) in 2005.
