DE ANN LOTT

Take the texture and tone of Rachelle Ferrell, the fervor and conviction of Tramaine Hawkins, the sincerity and authenticity of CeCe Winans; mix it with the lyrical interpretation and song styling of Oleta Adams or Nancy Wilson, the contemporary delivery of Yolanda Adams, and the range of Krystal Murden with a unique, healing connection in song and you have an approximate description of the inspirational and vocal styling of De-Ánn Lott (pronounced Dionn).

De-Ánn steps out of the shadows and takes the lead on her debut inspirational recording, Return to the Center. Produced by Jamie Hawkins (You Know that I Love – Donnel Jones) from the royal family of contemporary gospel, The Hawkins Family (Tramaine, Walter, Edwin), this debut recording of original, contemporary songs co-written by De-Ánn and Jamie, is a fresh and original project of connection, healing and inspiration.

A native of Northern California, De-Ánn, was influenced heavily by jazz, R&B, gospel as well as the blues. She is no stranger to musical fusion and finds herself as comfortable with jazz, R&B as well as inspirational music. De-Ánn’s musical delivery is something that you feel and experience, not just from a hearing perspective, but from a visceral depth. De-Ann has performed with some of the best in the industry including Patti LaBelle, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Daryl Coley, to name a few.
