Dorie Pride's Linkedin Analytics

Singer/songwriter/musician/author Dorie Pride says she is a purple sheep that walks to the beat of her own drum. "I think outside the box. I am exuberant about life and comfortable in my own skin. I live by the cardinal rule of the heart - LOVE. I am very committed to living a life that fulfills my purpose on the planet. That purpose is to make great music that stirs the heart and provokes thoughts that challenge people's consciousness to wake them up. I write music on my guitar and sing words that entice, invite and open unconscious eyes to see the bigger purpose of our lives, through my words and music. I am confident that I am on track with my mission." Dorie’s sophomore album, LOVE WILL FIND A WAY is brilliantly produced and arranged by KAMAU SEITU unfolding stories that cast light and shadows on the collective soul. “The first single off my 10-track CD, SHE NEVER ASKS puts a face on homelessness in a stark, moving story woven from the tapestry of my life involving two contrasting women… one who lost her way, while the other was the muse. It is only one example of the many proud, homeless people who wander throughout life with a story that no one cares to know.” With her androgynous, smoky voice reminiscent of JONI MITCHELL, Dorie twists and flows into a hauntingly, captivating contralto voice awakening memories of the late great NINA SIMONE. Look out! Dorie does it again on her brand-new single, LIFT YOU UP PRODUCED and co-written by KAMAU SEITU!! This single, LIFT YOU UP is a feel-good joyous song, that will make your soul happy!
