About Me

Masthead Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own!Deidra Hughes was raised in a Christian home by parents who both shared the Gospel through music, so it is not surprising that Deidra started singing when she was only four years old. However, it wasn’t until she was 15 that Deidra knew that God had called her to dedicate her life to ministry through music.Deidra began her preparation for full-time music ministry at Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, where Deidra led worship for the school choir, chapel and sang with the vocal group Joy. Then in January 2000, Deidra joined the well-known vocal group TRUTH under the direction of Roger Breland. It was almost as if her life had come full circle since her parents, Bob and Joleen Vander Maten, had met and married in the early days of TRUTH’s ministry. For the next two years, touring with TRUTH gave Deidra the opportunity not only to grow in her talent, but also to see the impact that the ministry had on people worldwide as they toured from coast to coast across the United States, as well as overseas to the Philippines, Africa, and Hong Kong, performing over 300 concerts a year.Deidra has had the opportunity to share the stage in ministry with artists such as Natalie Grant, Melissa Greene of Avalon, Anthony Evans, ZoeGirl, Kirk Franklin, CeCe Winans, and Women of Faith. Deidra has also ministered with Evangelists such as Perry Stone, Dwight Thompson, and Floyd Lawhon, to name a few.After meeting and marrying her husband, Trent, they spent time in the church as Youth Pastors, as well as Deidra serving as a Worship Leader. During this time, Deidra gained an undeniable passion for today’s youth and families. Although Deidra’s heart has always been for church ministry as a whole, she emphasizes a very specific message for today’s youth and young adults to share the importance of following Christ in a day and age where they are bombarded on a daily basis by everything from drugs to sexual immorality. Deidra encourages young people to, “Think about your choices, everything matters! I know and remember well what it is like to be driven by what is going on around you. Friends come and go, but your family and your choices are always there. Keep the Lord as your focus and life won't seem so hard. It is always best to have a mentor or someone that holds you accountable – parents, youth pastor or youth leaders. It is fun being a teenager! It's even better being a Christian! Have fun being both!”I think that Deidra’s thoughts on her calling resonate with most of us when she says, “I feel privileged and honored that He would choose me. I also feel a tremendous sense of responsibility to honor Him the best I can with the gifts He has entrusted me with.”Deidra now lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband and two children where she plans to continue pursuing her calling in full-time ministry.For Booking information please contactThe Lane Agency www.myspace.com/thelaneagency www.thelaneagencyonline.com This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours?

Influences: The biggest influences in my life have been my parents. If it wouldn't have been for their support, prayers and leading by example I would not be where I am today.There are too many other people in my life who have influenced me whether it be praying for me, speaking a word over me, or just sharpening me with their own skills for me to name them one-by-one.... Hopefully they all know how greatful I am.
Sounds Like:Here What Others Are Saying About Deidra:“I have known Deidra all her life! Her mom and dad sang in Truth. She is a wonderful singer with a heart for ministry. Today she is continuing in her ministry as she travels with some of the most outstanding Christian Artist in America. Deidra has a story to tell, a song to sing and a heart for the church. She is a humble servant and is loved by thousands of people across America. Deidra will be a blessing to all who hear her sing.”-Roger Breland/Truth/University of Mobile“I have known Deidra and her family since she was a child when her parents attended the church I pastored in the 1980’s called The Upper Room in Westminster, CA. She has always had a sensitivity to the Holy Spirits guiding in her life and her music.Deidra sang two years in TRUTH and also sang with Natalie Grant, Melissa Greene of Avalon, and Anthony Evans. In addition to ministering in many churches as a soloist, she has also ministered in meetings with Perry Stone, Dwight Thompson, and Dr. Fred Price. She is a Godly woman who now is married to a youth pastor and has two children of her own. I am her friend and believe she will be a blessing and encouragement to your church. I strongly recommend her ministry.”-Floyd Lawhon“Deidra Hughes adds intensity to any service and will compliment a Pastor’s hard work behind the pulpit. Her ministry in song goes beyond just another performance and paves a path for the congregation to enter into true worship. Your church will encounter the presence of God at an incredible level that will not soon be forgotten.”-Pastor Jamie Hooper Christ’s Worship Center Harvest, AL“Deidra Hughes is first and foremost an amazing woman of God. I have known her for almost five years and I have watched her continue to seek after God’s face and His will for her life. Her voice is one that is not easily forgotten. It drips with anointing, soul, and maturity beyond her years. It was my privilege to sing with her for two consecutive years and as often as possible since then. I know that she would be a blessing to all who hear her and I give her my highest recommendation.”-Melissa Greene of Avalon and Melben Ministries"I met Deidra about 4 years ago and I was immediately touched by her passion for worship. I meet musicians, singers, and worship leaders all the time, but her drive for worship is incomparable. Along with being blessed by God with a tremendous gift she also possesses that purposeful factor of leading those into the place of true encounter with God through her music. I have recently recommended her to several people that will greatly benefit from the ministry on her life. Just a few minutes under her ministry and you can certainly sense that this is her place in the world.  Our ministry looks forward to worshipping with her any chance we get".-Evangelist Eric Clark Eric Clark Ministries“While traveling in close proximity I had the unique opportunity of getting to know the real Deidra. I am pleased to say that she is a women with strong convictions who walks what she talks. Her talent is obvious. She has a beautiful voice and a heart for worship. She has garnered a lot of experience as a vocalist, singing with the group Truth, as a Youth Pastor’s Wife, and traveling with me.The last thing the world needs is another singer. Deidra is a great one, but I would not recommend her to your church based soley on her singing talent. Along with her voice, she is interested in ministering to your congregation. She has a passion to bring people into the presence of God and I believe that she will leave an eternal deposit in the lives of those who hear her. Invite her into your service and you will not be disappointed.”-Natalie GrantDeidra Hughes has earned high respect and admiration from the faculty that have taught her and students that were blessed to interact with her. During her years spent on the campus at Southeastern University, formerly Southeastern College, Deidra honed in her God given talent to sing for the glory of God. She has a beautiful voice and sings with passionate devotion to God.I recommend Deidra Hughes with enthusiasm and without the slightest hesitation.-Mark Rutland President of Southeastern University
