Powerhouse of a voice and performance

I had a chance to listen to the soulful sounds is Derica Booker, she captured the rooms attention and gave us an amazing performance, her voice is so beautiful so smooth. I'm looking forward to hearing more sounds coming from her. She was nothing short of amazing. I'm hoping to hear her perform again.

She was a COMPLETE stranger to me!

I met this warm, kind-hearted diva while out with some friends for karaoke. I was walking in while she was singing. Some of my friends knew her, but we had never met. I asked them who she was and why wasn't she signed yet. She absolutely blew my mind with her voice. When she finished her song, I went to her and said, "I'm sorry if this is weird, but you just have to sing at my wedding!" She smiled and blushed and said that she would be honored and asked me when my big day was. I told her that I didn't know, I'm still waiting my King to propose ...lol

Amazing!!

This singer is classy, stylish, and super-engaging. She tells a story with every song. Sometimes smooth and mellow, sometimes hype and jazzy. You get your monies worth and then some!!👍

Passionate & Authentic

They are very few artist today that remain authentic to the core in their music. D Booke finds the balance of being unique and relatable as well as delivering sultry smooth vocals in all her performances. Whether live or in studio her presence and music never disappoint. Did I mention she models as well . Seems like there isn’t anything she can’t do and I’m here for all of it !
