Delores music journey began at the age of five, while attending church choir rehearsals with her family. Music began to spark a special interest in her life and Delores family encouraged her to take piano lessons. She later expanded her knowledge of the music world by studying theory and composition. As her music career began to transpire, she was highly influenced by Benny Hank Crawford, her older brothers jazz group and Delores began to play different genres of music consisting of Gospel, Jazz, and Standards.
Delores has made many accomplishments throughout her music career such as performances at Birdland Jazz Club & Times Square in New York City. She has also worked with Jazz legends Grover Washington, David Newborn and Jimmy McGriff. Delores has worked as Music Director for a number of local churches, Childrens Theaters, local productions and Memphis City Schools. She is Memphis Chapter Representative for the Gospel Music Workshop of America, founded by the late Rev. James Cleveland and she continues embarks on new projects and opportunities as they present themselves.
