Deidra’s God-given gift comes from her soul and touches the heart of others. Her creativity, talent, and professionalism contribute to her being the complete package.

She has come a long way from singing in front of the bathroom mirror as a little girl. Her dream of becoming an accomplished vocalist and entertainer has taken her around the world, giving her the privilege to share the stage and her talent with some of the industry’s top artists.

Deidra polished her vocal abilities by singing gospel in church and international honor choirs, theatrical productions, talent shows, playing trumpet, and studio sessions before the age of fifteen.

This American-born Soul-Diva was raised in The Netherlands during her formative years and is a vocalist born with music in her blood. At a very young age, Deidra knew singing was not only what she wanted to do, she knew she had to do it.

Deidra started her professional singing career off singing at community functions as a kid and eventually performing in the music sector of the Army, which started her international musical journey of tours and vocal features.

Having years of experience performing with such greats as Patti Austin, Sir Elton John, Micheal Jackson, and the hit dance duo La Bouche has helped prepare Deidra to become the entertainer she is today. She commands the stage and captivates her audience in her own unique way.

In addition to her accomplishments, Deidra appeared as a lead vocalist with The Weather Girls and Technotronic, SNAP and supported other great acts such as Randy Crawford, Mariah Carey, Micheal Jackson, Chaka khan, Shirley Ceasar, and Lou Bega. She is a featured vocalist with German pop-dance act Tiefschwarz, drum and bass act Fauna Flash, and RTL’s television’s 90’s Pop Years project with M-Express remaking La Bouche smash hit “Sweet Dreams”.

She has also released her self-titled single “Alive” featuring jazz trumpeter Till Broenner, and dance hit “Let the Music Play”.

On the commercial side of the industry, Deidra has recorded the theme song for Davidoff’s ‘Good Life’ perfume, and voice identifiers for the popular music station Planet Radio (Germany) while working as a lead vocalist with popular gospel groups in Europe such as the Golden Gospel Singers and The Jackson Singers (Germany).
