Debby has been involved in the music industry since she was a little girl. Her father, Jimmy Holiday, co-wrote many hit songs, including the worldwide smash hit, Put A Little Love In Your Heart.

Debby's unique sound is a mixture of soul and rock. She started to write songs at the age of 13 and broke into the dance scene and the Billboard Top 10 in 2004 with her songs, Dive and Half a Mile Away.

During her career, Debby has toured and opened for rock superstars including Joe Walsh, Rod Stewart and Kiss.

"You would be hard pressed, in New York, Chicago, Las Vegas or LA, to find a cabaret show any more entertaining than Debby Holiday. From the first belt out of her mouth to the last, it is non-stop, amazing entertainment. This girl can SING!" - Jim Davis

"Dreaming of You"
a musical tribute to legend, Selena
starring Yudi Villamonte
Three Shows Only!
Friday, June 1, 8 & 15 at 7:30 pm


The most exciting event of the Summer! After singing a duet with her daughter, Diana, in "Simply The Best," everyone in Puerto Vallarta suggested that Yudi Villamonte be the star of her own show. This was the inspiration for Dreaming of You, a musical tribute to the first Latina Crossover artist, Selena, a show produced and directed by Alfonso Lopez.

Yudi was brought to fame in her home country of Panama, and was known as the matriarch and first lady of the "Villamonte Musical Dynasty." Well known in the paparazzi circuit, all the Villamonte women have been chased down the street as they leave clubs and venues. The paparazzi would go crazy trying to get a picture of the First Musical Family of Panama. Starting a new life in Puerto Vallarta was a risk for the family, but Puerto Vallarta's newest star, Yudi Villamonte, says, "A risk well worth it!"

Now it is Diana's turn to make a special guest appearance, along with her sister, in their mother's show, "Dreaming of You." Don't miss this wonderful performance, click HERE to get your tickets TODAY!
