DENITIA

Denitia is an incredibly adventurous musician who melded multiple genres into her own free-wheeling style during her decade or so, making music in New York before recently moving to Music City. Originally hailing from a small town in Texas, Denitia grew up listening to country music and attending rodeos in her free time, but it wasn’t a big part of her own musical output until now. With her latest album, Highways, Denitia incorporates those early country/folk influences into her sound. The result is a thoughtful, thought-provoking, and altogether organic approach to the country/folk style that has earned Denitia high-profile features from CMT. Check out my interview with Denitia on episode 37 of Proud Radio for more insight into her experience as a black, queer, southern woman.
