Dezzie - great gospel/soul artist

Via Myspace kwam ik langs deze artiest genaamd Dezzie. Haar stem is echt geweldig soulful en ze wordt al vergeleken met artiesten als Jill Scott. Geloof is een belangrijk onderdeel van haar lyrics en het is haar doel om jonge meiden te helpen met de moeilijkheden in het leven.

Na contact te hebben gehad met haar management heb ik een aantal tracks ontvangen. Echt heerlijke muziek. Daarom zal ik in deze show (en de volgende) zeker tracks van haar blijven draaien. Check onderstaand haar bio.


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 has 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 will ever experience is with the Lord Jesus Christ. Being a mother of one 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.

Dezzie has been blessed record two albums. Here I Am released in 2002 and her latest project, Dying Daily A Journey through Spiritual Growth.

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 desire is to help backslidden 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.
