           █   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.                █

           █   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       █

           █   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      █

           █   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      █

           █   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      █

           █   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."                                              █
