Deletta Gillespie is a multidisciplinary performing/teaching artist. Born in Oklahoma to musicians, Gillespie began performing at five years old. Attending college on a jazz music scholarship she studied musical theater performance, which helped herdevelop her vocal versatility and energetic presentational style. She easily glides between the genres of rock, broadway, pop, and reggae, buts admits to camping out at the intersection of classic and neo-soul, classic and contemporary jazz, and the blues. Gillespie's first cd TRIUMPH(ant) was released in May 2013. An eclectic collection of songs that celebrate triumphing over life's challenges and the lessons learned in that process, TRIUMPH(ant) firmly rooted in classic r&b, and yet is flavored with jazz, blues, adult contemporary, reggae, and dance. Gillespie wrote the music for all but one track, with three tunes penned with spoken word artist Shameeka Dream and singer/songwriter Novelair Peele.
