-DeDe’s music is an outstanding of Pop, Adult Contemporary & Americana, with other American music influences such as Standards, , Folk, Broadway, and Gospel thrown in. She arranged all the songs on her first CD. She’s been compared to everyone from to Colbie Calait, and from to Celine Dion. DeDe’s new CD, LOVE & FAIRY TALES, has a little edgier Indie Adult Contemporary Pop & Americana feel, as well as the great soaring ballads she’s known for. She has a trained voice, and has a 3-octave range. Her vocals have been described as pure and clear- sort of Eva Cassidy meets Karen Carpenter.

-Her music has been on several WORLD TOP 10 CHARTS on Broadjam.com (a singer/songwriter website with over 8 million users), including Female Vocal Production, Blues, World Music, Jazz, Latin, Latin Jazz, Southeast US, , and Mid-Tempo Ballad Top 10 Charts.

-DeDe’s motto is: “REAL Good for REAL Adults”. Why? Although DeDe writes mainly Pop & Adult Contemporary and inspirational music, she also arranges music. Recognizing that a lot of the current on the radio is focused mainly on young teens, and may also have violent or negative messages, DeDe writes positive, soulful music with relatable and inspiring messages that appeal more to adults, and anyone at any age who appreciates REAL Good Music. She writes beautiful , powerful & inspiring lyrics, fun danceable rhythms, and music full of hope. Her music is like chicken soup for the soul: it helps fill a void for this type of new music for anyone who’s looking for a more timeless, melodious, lyrically-sound and inspiring adult contemporary alternative to the ultra-trendy & often teen- only focused new music on the radio.

-She performs all over Texas, and DeDe is available to tour. Her audience is growing nationwide & worldwide, and she has a great band. DeDe’s available for shows, festivals, radio & TV interviews, private events, bookings and tours.
