Dee Nyoni

About Me

Dee Nyoni strikes the drum for deep groove with a chic ghetto style. Her songs pay tribute to classic soul with funk/jazz breaks mixed down with sassy background vocals and a hot fusion of RnB. The live delivery is fearless and has wowed packed audiences at The Picturedrome, The Cellar and Ronnie Scott's. With a tight band support, Dee Nyoni shows why her name is being whispered as one of the UKs freshest answers to Angie Stone and Jill Scott. An urban flava rules the hypnotic and unforgettable anthem "People" and her deep Gospel roots are revealed in powerful and emotive songs such as "Life" and "Stone Cold Heart". The melodies sing of spiritual journeys, inspired from bliss and turmoil.Dee has provided strong support for the "James Taylor Quartet" during their 2005 UK tour and will feature on the "WORLD CHILL OUT MUSIC UNIVERSITY TOUR 2006" which is being headlined by the UK's tour de force in soul-funk groove, the "Thabani" band.Check out Dee's guest appearance on Sam Moore's track, "He Won't Let You Go" from his album "Splendid Isolation" (released through Gospel label "UnitedbyOne").
