06/14/13 Update: Deletta Gillespie's Bio at http://www.reverbnation.com/delettagillespie

"Having walked away from two record deals over the course of her twenty-five years in the music industry, singer/songwriter and performing artist Deletta Gillespie has finally realized her dream of becoming a recording artist, and she’s done it on her own terms. 
A native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Deletta Gillespie is a multidisciplinary performing and teaching artist who was born into a show business family: both parents were musicians and backed legendary acts such as The Ink Spots and The Shirelles. Her trademark is her vocal versatility…she can sing in nearly every style of music ranging from classical to rock to broadway, but she claims to live at the intersection of classic and neo soul, contemporary jazz and blues. She is a songwriter, a playwright, and voice over artist. Deletta made her professional debut at age five in her mom’s nightclub act. Her musical highlights include opening for acts such as Al Jarreau, Patti Austin, New York Voices, Lalah Hathaway, and for British music icons Paul Carrack and Judi Tzuke. She’s also performed for the late Michael Jackson. Deletta has worked in Canada, Bermuda, the UK, and all over the US, and fronted an award winning showband in Atlantic City and on the Nevada Casino circuit. Deletta has also sung alongside Broadway performers like Michael James Leslie, Carolee Carmello, and Sharon Wilkins. Gillespie originated the role of Chloe in 7:32, an original musical and national runner up in the 2009 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. She also spent a year at sea singing onboard Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. Upon moving to Baltimore from Bermuda five years ago she took a hiatus from music to get a master’s degree in theatre, but is now returning to the music world. 
Deletta is a member of the Theatre Arts faculty at Morgan State University, is a certified voice teacher, and offers private coaching in voice and acting."
