About Me

Born November 9, 1980 in Baltimore, Maryland. Dionne was exposed to cultured and diverse settings which would further nurture, and develop her Character, and Artistic Licence. Understanding of the County to Streets way of life is nothing beyond grasp for her. Influenced by not only Major, and Indie artists, Dionne is inspired by musicians in her family as well. Her songwriter, guitarist father, Samuel remains her most significant musical influence to date. Samuel found himself to be a talent that was never fully embraced for his gift in the 70's and 80's. Samuel, and Bobbie honed their daughter's talent, and abilities by surrounding her with an eclectic selection of records, instruments, and (failed) piano lessons as early as the age of 3. From Elementary to High School, Dionne found herself passionately involved in choir. Emeshed within the choir of "life" metaphorically, Dionne struggled for a few years with her sense of direction and purpose following High School. Eventually dropping out of College while pursuing Psychology. Dionne longed to express herself more so thru art, and in 2002 rediscovered her strength in poetry, and writing, becoming a fixture at some local spoken word venues. Even in this newfound growth, and community, she longed to express herself on a more musical, and instrumental level. Today, after failed band start ups, an uncompleted Hidden Beach Recordings Internship, production delays, self doubt, and personal struggles; Dionne has found her "voice" and is ready to spark a "revolution of the mind, body, and soul" with heartfelt, and poignant messages. Artists, Producers, Media, and Fans have already started to compare Dionne's Versatility, Style, and Sound to substantial artists such as Lauryn Hill, Res, Meshell N'degeocello, India Arie, and Tracy Chapman. Dionne is currently completing her eagerly awaited Demo, and is collaborating with some of Baltimore's most Unique, and Gifted Producers, and Artists. Look for her Demo to be in completion, as well as Live Performances In 2007.MusiQ Has Evolved...
