To hear music written and performed by Dior is to experience sonic defiance. In a society that creates borders, her sound, lyrics, and delivery transcend boundaries and challenge listeners to step outside of theirs, and into her world. With words of love, heartbreak, growth, and tension, her songs combine the sounds of Classic R&B with the familiarity of Soul, leaning heavily toward their intersection, Neo-Soul.
A native of Indianapolis, Dior infuses her rural upbringing with urban sounds, producing continuously shifting melodies with vivid story-telling. With musical influences from Brian McKnight, Brandy, Aaliyah, and Yolanda Adams, she intertwines her specialty of vocal runs and harmonic arrangements to create a sound that truly captures her ever-developing style.
A combination of positive and adverse life experiences have created the confidence that she exudes in her work. She aspires to be the voice that reassures young minds and alters the perspective of even the most seasoned ears. She has performed on stages from headlining state fairs to independent artist showcases. Now residing in Los Angeles, she is also pursuing an acting career, kickstarted by a starring role in a full-length motion picture. Along with exploring other endeavors, she is currently writing and arranging her first studio album.
