Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Deeadra Peoples
Born in the small mid-west town of Monmouth, IL, Deeadra began her career early, as most R&B performers did, singing in the church choir. It was here that her natural ability was given the roots that would later flower into its current soulful state.
Realizing that her hometown didnt provide the opportunities she needed, Deeadra packed up and headed west to California where she began to ride the circuit doing hooks for various west cost rap groups. Though not very lucrative, these escapades paid off in the form of studio experience as well as chances to arrange and produce.
Soon realizing the need to shine on her own, Deeadra enlisted the aid of close friend and music producer Charles Unkahmn Price to begin production of her debut album Undeniable.
A realistic and emotion-filled effort that speaks to the ordinary woman, Undeniable draws its soul from many of Deeadras own personal experiences, and is brimming with rich, non-computer generated vocals arranged by Ms. Peoples herself.
With a strong freshmen project in the wings to spear-head her career, and much to prove to herself and others, Deeadra Peoples stands ready to show the world what an undeniable force she really is.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I perform live as much as I can because I love the rush I get from the crowd. I can't think of too many more things I'd rather do.
Your musical influences
Two of my greatest influences are Mary J Blige and Tina Turner. I love the feeling and the soul that Mary pours into her music and I love the energy that Tina gives in every performance.
