The singer known internationally as
Diana Thompson (aka DD Rose) has released her latest EP record,
“Trumuzic,” and a single, “Luv 4 U.” Both singles have been
proudly published on the Mind Music Production independent record
label without the direction of the corporate music industry. Grooving
with the original reggae and roots sound and produced with public
radio and global sensations in mind, “Trumuzic” and “Luv 4 U”
are evidence that Diana Thompson is a true voice of the island tone
today.
Diana Thompson / DD Rose cites as main
artistic influences Tarrus Riley, Marcia Griffiths, Tessanne Chin,
Queen Ifrica, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Celine Dion, and Whitney
Houston. DD Rose's own sound takes elements from the roots and reggae
traditions and adds to this her own, updated style which will appeal
to fans of pop music, reggae and dancehall alike. This sound is warm,
welcoming, and elegant, making for uplifting, toe-tapping music
anyone can lose themselves in.
Speaking of the themes of her music,
Mind Music Productions writes that, “DD Rose really wants her fans
to get the true feelings found in every musical note and word she
sings. She wants her fans to get transported in the rapture of her
songs such that they can be taken to a place of respite for the
moment, thus enabling them to have a renewed vision about life's
problems they may face, knowing that with God all things are
possible.”
Thompson herself has been cited as
saying, “Music has the power to unite all people irrespective of
their class or race. I believe in the regenerative power of music to
heal the soul from the ills it encounters daily.”
Jamaica's Diana Thompson grew up in St.
Thomas. By the age of 12 Thompson was already singing live at church,
and was leading the choir by 15. Soon after, she was appointed
director of both the youth and adult choir. While reserved in her
private life, DD Rose's natural stage presence is explosive and
entrancing. She was encouraged to compete as a singer, and won
several medals from silver to the national gold. Her frequent
performances in the community made a name for her as a beloved
artist.
She has worked with such prominent
musicians as John Holt, Ken Boothe, Leroy Sibbles, Sizzla, Queen
Ifrica, George Nooks, Nesbeth, Kililah Rose, Uncle Johnny and Yvad,
among others.
She has performed at such popular
Jamaican venues and events as the Ocean Palms Night Club in St
Thomas, the Independent show in Long Bay, Portland, the Rebel Salute
2012, the Reggae Show at Emancipation Park 2012, Charity at Hectors
River for Survivors/Victims of Fire, the Red Bones Club, the Allshmar
Jerk Center, Portland Jerk Festival Show in 2013, Rebel Salute 2016,
Hotel Round Hill, and a great many more.
DD Rose's tireless work ethic as a
performer has been described as enabling her “to hone and to
routinize her stage presence such that her performances are
electrifying, ecstatic, and heart throbbing.”
“I would like to thank all my fans,”
writes DD Rose, “without whose support I would not be here. I am
forever indebted to their kindness, blessings, and love. I will
always keep you in my heart and prayers... I will remain committed to
you all in making feel-good music. Most important, in all of your
life endeavors, put God first and remember to show love to all of
God's children. One Love – DD Rose.”
