Bio

Singer-songwriter DeAnna was born and raised in a tiny Saskatchewan town in Canada. DeAnna delivers a unique vocal style that authentically captures real life, faith, love and emotions. DeAnna has the sweetness of Faith Hill, the growl of Gretchen Wilson, the uniqueness of Sheryl Crow and innocence of Taylor Swift.

In 2006, DeAnna was recruited by Nashville Publisher, Playgroup Entertainment, were she honed her skills co-writing songs with Stephanie Bentley, (who co-wrote “Breathe” and “Concrete Angel”) and Kathy Majeski (who wrote for Reba McEntire, and Lori Morgan).

In November of 2008, DeAnna recorded five new songs in Nashville with producer Gil Grand crafting the soon to be released singles, “Old Red Ford,” and “Ain’t Gonna Steal My Thunder”. These sessions directly led to DeAnna signing with DBM Records in 2009, and set up the release of her first single release in the United States and Canadian- “Bring Home Your Sweet Love For Christmas,” produced by Grammy nominated Producer Joe Marlett (Destiny’s Child, Foo Fighters, Seal), A&R Head, Mark Evans and Mastered by Gavin Lurssen (2009 Grammy Award Winner for Robert Plant/Alison Krause’s album “Raising Sand”).

A&R Head – Mark Evans

“DeAnna delivers more than hits. Her music touches listeners, makes them feel human, demands that they explore their memories, decisions and to explore their future path. The magic is hard to pin-point and even more difficult to create. DeAnna doesn’t sacrifice her identity, nor does she follow the rules laid down long ago by Country music insiders. A great artist simply follows their creative drive. A great artist doesn’t give up when she hits roadblocks. A great artist, like DeAnna, is willing to take risks because after she delivers the music that comes through her, all risk is released, all risk is nullified, all risk is instantly converted by her listeners to joy and washed clean of uncertainty.”
