ABOUT DORIAN HOLLEY

dorian_holley-biohttps://smithpublish.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/dorian_holley-bio.... 150w, https://smithpublish.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/dorian_holley-bio.... 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />

Dorian Holley is new to the solo scene. Perhaps because he has spent most of his time backing folks up. The vocal coach on American Idol the last four seasons, he also sings on Don’t Forget The Lyrics, and was a featured vocalist on Dancing With The Stars for its first three seasons. Listen closely and you can pick his voice out on the film Happy Feet. Then go dig up a DVD of cult fav, The Five Heartbeats. Dorian is the voice of Choir Boy, which is kind of funny because when he was a kid he was one in the world renowned Bob Mitchell Singing Boys Choir.dorian-holley-5https://smithpublish.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/dorian-holley-5.jp... 150w, https://smithpublish.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/dorian-holley-5.jp... 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />

Since then Dorian has done all of Michael Jackson’s solo tours; he’s toured with Queen Latifah, Rod Stewart, James Taylor, Lionel Richie, Don Henley, Linda Rondstadt; he has sung with Stevie Wonder, Usher, Cristina Aguilera, Fantasia, Stevie Nicks, Patti Labelle, Chris Brown, Herbie Hancock, Jon Legend, Chris Daughtry, Mary J. Blige, Joni Mitchell, Jennifer Hudson, Joss Stone, Seal, Chrisette Michele, the list goes on and on. When you can’t sleep late one night, Google him. You’ll find many of the films he’s sung in and CD credits up the yin yang.

Dorian Holley’s Independent Film is a New World Soul Beat Project. The first of its kind. Complimented with the killer poetry of his unique vision of love, life, holding hands and, of all things, Bar B Q joints.

ABOUT PERRI

Back in 1989, a little heralded single about homelessness, filled with beautiful harmonies that belied the serious, sad nature of the song’s lyrical content, became one of the year’s best cuts and introduced much of the world to the group Perri.  Now, 15 years after “Nowhere To Go,” the lead singer behind that single, Lori Perry, has launched a long-awaited solo career powered by her strong, gospel-tinged voice.

California native Perry began singing as a young girl at church at the request of her grandfather, joining with her three older sisters Carol, Darlene and Sharon to form their church choir.  The quartet continued to perform together as teens as the vocal group Perri, landing background vocal gigs based on their pitch-perfect harmonies, the first of which was for Jazz fusion artist Pat Metheny, and ultimately provided singing support for such artists as Roberta Flack, Seal, Cher and George Benson.  Their biggest break came when Anita Baker invited them to serve as her backing singers on a world tour.
