My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 30/01/2008
Band Website: www.Deidrey.com
Influences: Everything and all that Jazz... I love the music of Classic Jazz singers as well as the Badhu take on Jazz, it just does not have to be ordinary. I personally like musicians who write music that is more than just simple repetition.I have always enjoyed the vocal stylings of Luther Vandros and how Artists in his era are so melodic even in the way they sing what should be one note. Its just so beautiful.I write whatever comes to mind, it's hard sometimes to think about where that sound influence may be streaming from. My mind just seems to work that way. Thank you God! That's about all I can say!
Sounds Like: Umm, A little of this and a little of that. Lots of Jazzy tones and Bluesy moments all dancing and laughing under a shady tree in July. Someone once said I sound like Anita Baker. I love her, but I think I sound like me... what do you think?
Record Label: Some Major Label is about to find me
Type of Label: Indie
