“I sped down Robertson, my Inobe CD playing as loud as I
could stand and as soulful as I wanted to become."
- Eric Jerome Dickey, from the NY Times Best Seller
Naughty Or Nice
My music is a rootsy blend of southern soul and acoustic
R&B underlying a conscious lyric reminiscent of a time when folks wrote
songs to change hearts, minds and conditions. I have released 5 solo albums. My
latest project is titled “Black Beautiful,” a poetic journey through black
community, black feminism, and black love.
I have performed 5 USO tours to lift spirits and entertain
American troops around the world. I have played music in 17 countries across
North and Central America, Europe, Greenland, the Middle East, Africa, Asia,
the Pacific Rim and the Caribbean. My world travel experiences have added a
heightened consciousness to my songs that were already rich with hope and
compassion for others.
Premier music venue performances includes the Viper Room;
King King Hollywood; Temple Bar; Hard Rock Café Atlanta; Cotton Club; Café Fais
Do Do; Blue Café; EarthLink Live, Room 5 Lounge and Apache Café. I also
appeared before an audience of 400,000 viewers on Fox 5 Good Day in Atlanta, GA.
I have been a featured performer at several regional
festivals and conferences including Atlanta's Music Midtown, National Black
Arts Festival, Heritage Arts Festival, African Festival of the Arts and
Atlantis Music Conference.
My work inspired the lead characters in the New York Times
best sellers “Naughty or Nice” (2003) and “Chasing Destiny” (2006) by Eric
Jerome Dickey.
“I write about things God has brought me through, but I also
write to others’ pain.” “People like your music if they can stretch to identify
with it, but they don’t fully appreciate it unless your music stretches to identify
with them first.”
