░ █ ▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀ █
█ Put an angelic voice, a professional work ethic █
█ and bewitching good lookss together and you get █
█ the phenomenon that is Dionyza (pronounced dee- █
█ on-juh). The Los Angeles native was literally █
█ born into music as the daughter of songwriters █
█ Michael and Brenda Sutton. Though never pushed █
█ into the business by her folks, she inherited its █
█ finest points and practices to become one 2006Æs █
█ most seasoned and diversified new artists. The █
█ proof is on brilliant display within her self- █
█ titled debut CD, Dionyza û which finds her █
█ collaborating with hit-makers such as Rashod █
█ Holiday & Sauce (Ne-Yo), David Frank (The System) █
█ and Nate Butler (3LW). The project reflects a █
█ rainbow of musical styles and moods. █
█ █
█ "I've been around music all of my life,ö Dionyza █
█ states, ôup to the wee hours in studios while Mom █
█ and Dad were working. My greatest memory is being █
█ at Motown where I got to meet Smokey Robinson. █
█ And Teena Marie took my sister and me to the park █
█ while my parents were in the studio. I have two █
█ older brothers and one sister - I'm the youngest. █
█ As children we saw the ups and downs of the music █
█ business first hand, so they didn't have to █
█ æwarnÆ us about anything! Every one of us can █
█ singàbut I'm the only one taking it all the way!ö █
█ █
█ Thus far, ôall the wayö has included chops- █
█ building behind the scenes work singing demos and █
█ background vocals for top-flight █
█ songwriter/producers such as Kenneth ôBabyfaceö █
█ Edmonds and the team of Soulshock & Karlin. Her █
█ extensive credits include singing on Christina █
█ AguileraÆs My Kind of Christmas album and █
█ accompanying singer Jon B on his Cool Relax tour █
█ (which included promotional stops on Soul Train █
█ and Motown Live). She sang on the best-selling █
█ soundtrack of the Disney TV movie High School █
█ Musical and provides the singing voice of the █
█ characters ôSashaö and ôJadeö on the Saturday █
█ morning cartoon The Bratz. ôI guess you can say █
█ IÆve been a busy lilÆ studio rat,ö she laughs! █
█ █
█ Now the time has arrived for Dionyza to step into █
█ the limelight as an artist in her own right. ôI █
█ think I identify most with Janet Jackson,ö she █
█ muses. ôShe comes from a musical family, dances, █
█ sings, performs and writes. And I love the way █
█ she matured over the years.ö Recalling her own █
█ musical development, Dionyza continues, ôI've █
█ known I could sing since I was 4àMom was always █
█ singing to me. I was really shy, but music █
█ brought me out of my shell. I actually loved █
█ dancing more than singing as a kid. I was heavy █
█ into hip hop dance on my schoolÆs drill team and █
█ cheerleading squads. And after schoolàI was █
█ sneaking out to hip hop battles!ö █
█ █
█ Her creative energies began to shift during █
█ DionyzaÆs fateful junior year at Grant High █
█ School. ôThere was a Martin Luther King Day █
█ assembly,ö she begins. ôI was in choir and the █
█ teacher asked me to lead a Negro Spiritual, so I █
█ sang æSometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child.Æ █
█ I didnÆt think anything of it but later between █
█ classes, two girls stopped me to tell me how █
█ moved they were by my singing. IÆd made them cry. █
█ That's when I knew I had something.ö Dionyza █
█ started writing poetry at 12 and wrote her first █
█ song at 17: "You'll Be Running Back to Me.ö █
█ █
█ Not surprisingly, it was among family that she █
█ made her first tentative steps as a performer. █
█ ôMy brother Michael (Jr.) is a talented █
█ songwriter, too,ö she shares. ôMy dad suggested █
█ that we start performing together as Mike & █
█ Dionyza. At one showcase, we got the attention of █
█ Sony Music Publishing. Later, I showcased alone █
█ and Deirdre OÆHara signed me to an artist █
█ development deal as a writer and artist. I was █
█ the only female R&B act they had at the time. █
█ They started pairing me with people like Larry █
█ Henley who wrote the county-pop classic æWind █
█ Beneath My Wings.Æ I didnÆt understand it at the █
█ time but she was grooming me to be flexible in █
█ all genres.ö █
█ █
█ What Dionyza has ultimately become is a well- █
█ rounded creative artist of the highest order û a █
█ distinction in keeping with the classical █
█ literary character from whom she received her █
█ name. ôI was named after æDionyza from William █
█ Shakespeare's play Paraclese. The proper █
█ pronunciation is ædie-uhn-eye-zuhÆ but my mom █
█ wanted to make it a little different, so she █
█ chose to pronounce it ædee-ohn-juh.Æö Either way █
█ you say it, itÆs a mouthful that was sometimes █
█ tough to live with. ôFrom first grade to now, █
█ it's gotten me a lot of attention,ö Dionyza █
█ laughs. ôI got compliments, but it also gave me █
█ so much trouble. I'd have to correct the teacher █
█ on spelling and pronunciation. I didn't like it █
█ at first. Then I realized no one else has this █
█ name and I should rethink my feelings. So I read █
█ the play and found that æDionyzaÆ is a strong █
█ independent woman - the wife of the town mayor █
█ who comes to her for decisions to make. I was █
█ feelinÆ that!ö █
█ █
█ Which brings us to DionyzaÆs self-titled debut. █
█ She has wisely chosen to collaborate with several █
█ different writers and to not write everything █
█ herself. ôI feed off of other writersÆ energies,ö █
█ she states. One intriguing example of her writing █
█ approach can be found on ôI Told Myself,ö which █
█ she co-wrote with Robbie Nevil (a one-time artist █
█ who focuses more on songwriting now). Describing █
█ the organic way in which the song came about, █
█ Dionyza says, ôRobbie asked me, æWhat are you █
█ going through right now?Æ I told him I was seeing █
█ a guy but I thought he was going to be a █
█ dog/player. I told myself to stop hanging out █
█ with him. I told myself I need to let him go. █
█ Robbie said, æThat's it - I Told Myself - we've █
█ got a hook!Æ" What makes this song even more █
█ special is the music track. Back in the `70s, █
█ Motown vocal quartet The Originals recorded one █
█ of Michael & Brenda SuttonÆs songs titled █
█ ôSunrise.ö That song was sampled by producer █
█ Kanye West for rappers Scarface & Jay-ZÆs ôGuess █
█ WhoÆs Backö (2002). Bringing the song full circle █
█ back to family, Dionyza has sampled KanyeÆs flip █
█ of the track for ôI Told Myself.ö █
█ █
█ Along with several other original songs, Dionyza █
█ shows her allegiance to classic soul with a █
█ beautiful remake of Deniece Williams' 1980 hit █
█ "Silly." ôOver the years IÆve constantly been █
█ told I sound like to people,Æ Dionyza shares, █
█ ôNiecy for tone and Randy Crawford for vibrato. I █
█ hear æSillyÆ all the time on radio oldies shows. █
█ I decided to redo it for todayÆs generation.ö █
█ █
█ Now standing on the verge of ôall the way,ö █
█ Dionyza says the most important thing she learned █
█ from Mom and Dad was never give up. ôThey remind █
█ me that I'm already at a place where a lot of █
█ people are still trying to get. Sometimes I just █
█ want to stay in the background. ItÆs satisfying █
█ enough sometimes just hearing another singer's █
█ voice on a track that I wrote. Sometimes I don't █
█ want to deal with the politics of the business. █
█ Then IÆll go to a great show and want to jump on █
█ stage, grab the mic and go! On stage or in the █
█ studio, I think I just love bringing songs to █
█ life." █
