After finishing these projects, D’Lannie joined forces again with music executive Jason Davis to work on the next phase of her career.  Presently she just recorded some songs with “ The Jam Music Group” out of Los Angeles and is excited about promoting her new music.

D’Lannie has always been true to herself and to what she believes in and wants her fans to relate to her music.  I write and perform all my songs for my fans, “says D’Lannie”.  Some of my songs are written for  those people that have been made to feel peer pressure and have been bullied in school for no reason.  I know how that feels, “says D’Lannie.  I was not always the skinest or the prettiest and boy did I suffer for it!   Just remember no matter what anyone says or does,  do not ever give up on your dream.  It is up to you to keep it alive and everything is possible.  Strive to be the best and don’t worry about what other people think.

I will never stop dancing in the mirror “ says D’Lannie”  I am very excited to be working towards my dream and see where it takes me.

And  remember guys, living up to people’s standards on how you should look and act is a fulltime job in school, so don’t worry so much about that.  Live your life, have fun and persure your dreams.

Love D’Lannie
