To Denitia
The songs she sings give audiences an opportunity to see themselves in her and connect over shared experiences and emotions. “We’re all people just trying to live our lives,” Denitia says, “and there’s so much of it that we have in common. ” But Denitia also wants her music to give audiences an opportunity to connect with themselves. “If a song of mine helps someone reckon with their own emotional life or their own experiences, or it helps them experience empathy or open their mind or expand, that’s what I’m trying to do,” she adds. “I’m trying to make music I love that moves people while just being myself.”
Her music has been featured in the films Nanny and The Invitation, as well as in the series Better Things (FX), Broad City (Comedy Central), Dear White People (Netflix), Shrinking (Apple TV+), and The Terminal List (Amazon). She has toured extensively with the Black Opry Revue; been invited to perform at the National Museum of African American Music and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville; and shared stages with Amythyst Kiah, Joy Oladokun, and Allison Russell, among other artists. In 2023, Denitia earned one of five spots in a residency hosted by the Black Opry and WXPN, was named to Rissi Palmer’s Color Me Country class, and was one of three artists selected for CMT and mtheory’s Equal Access cohort.
The momentum continued in 2024. Denitia is one of CMT’s 2024 Next Women of Country and was named an artist to watch by the Nashville Scene. She made her Grand Ole Opry debut and opened shows for Mickey Guyton.
