About Me

My name is De'Borah(Deh-bore-rah). Singing and songwriting is my gift, alongside playing the guitar-(I like to say that I'm a guitarist in my own right).Music is a love, delight and passion in my life. I enjoy sharing the comfort I've found in it with others, simply because it's so moving and so powerful . The stage has always been a place where I feel I can truly express myself.Being a part of a musical family has definatley encouraged me.
I hold the title of CROYDON'S HOTTEST UNSIGNED MUSIC ACT 09 and I attended The BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology, which has produced acts like Katie Melua and Leona Lewis.This college gave me wonderful experiences and really inspired me to always take my music to another level!

In terms of the live music scene-I've done many gigs around London in general since March 08. At the moment I'm working with some musicians, and will be recording some more tracks for you all and my E.P in June, so keep watching this space!With over 35 songs to my name, this journey has started from the age 11. Come and join the ride...

Sounds Like: A mix between Sting's melodies and beats, India Arie's emotion , Radiohead chords , and Jill Scott lyrics! Possibly a bit of Joni Mitchell too. Though it sounds cliched but I do have a very distinctive, unique vibe. I actually struggle to find anyone creating the sound that I am writing and developing. So bare with me and my music!
