Born and raised in the great city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania into a family of musicians and entertainers, Desiree Neal, better known as Dezzie has been singing since the age of 7. Having the zeal to serve the Lord with her gift, she practiced daily with her mother from learning how to sing scales on a music chart to performing in front of an audience.
Dezzie developed more of her craft while attending New Covenant Presbyterian Church, singing in the church choir as well as singing background and hooks for local artists in the Philadelphia area. In a time where young aspiring artists that have grown up in the church were leaving to go and experience the secular side of the industry, Dezzie had committed herself to doing the work of the Lord.
She longs to help young women who have gone through or are going through trials in their life to let them know that the greatest Love they could ever experience is with the Lord Jesus Christ. Being a mother of 2 and having been in situations that the Lord has brought her out of, she is honored and eager to share her testimony in songs with those who are hurting. Her personal struggles have molded her into the self-sufficient woman of God she is today. The hunger that she has for more spiritual growth is evident as she sings and shares the love of Christ with others.
Inspired by the Holy Spirit and encouraged by her producers; Eric Booty Greene, Jr. and Irvin Washington, she has been blessed to do 2 albums. Here I Am released back in 2002 and her latest project, Dying Daily A Journey through Spiritual Growth.
Now 5 years down the line, Dezzie has been blessed to grace the stage with various artists such as Smokie Norful, Sound of Blackness, Mary Mary, Cross Movements' Da Truth and her favorite artist and close friend:Tye Tribbett just to name a few. Dezzie has been compared and even labeled as the Jill Scott of Gospel. Dezzie's musical style is equally as diverse with an urban flare. Her style can be described as soulful yet poetic, funky yet classy.
Dezzie's mission is to help back-slidden souls back to Christ. She wants them to know that there is still hope and the lost to know that life is more fulfilling in Christ.
