Dior (Singer, Song Writer) living in Pittsburgh, PA growing up with a single mom in the projects, was not the best life, but for Dior it was. He had no idea of his mom’s struggles, she never made it known to him. When Dior got old enough to realize he was the last child out of 7 coming out of the nest and having to buy his own sneakers, he knew he wanted something Big out of life, something that could provide a way for him to give his mom financial freedom to where she would never have to work again At the age of 12 is when Dior realized all his talents. It was when he was standing in front of a piano at the “Christian Temple Church” in Pittsburgh, PA with the Minister of Music Keith Moncrief.

He began singing all over town in different churches and performing in many talent shows; "Winning Of Course" It couldn’t stop there for Dior. He loved singing for the Lord, but he also had a passion for R&B music. He listened to the best like Luther Vandross, Daryl Coley, Howard Hewitt and Freddy Jackson.

His mom recognized his talents and enrolled him in C.A.P.A. “The Creative and Performing Arts High School”.



Majoring in Vocal and Minored in Piano. Getting to the next level was always on Dior's mind so he auditioned to be in a group called "After You." One of the members in "After You" who goes by the name of Rock Steady was in the Cross Over Band for singing sensation Kenny Green. He was in a chart topping group named "Intro". Opening up for them and touring the world singing for crowds with 10,000 or more fans and that was a major experience for Dior. He was the youngest out of the bunch and the least experienced; He didn’t let that stop him. Dior was the writer behind the entire "After you" album.



After that whole experience Dior realized being a solo artist was better for him, so he decided to move to Atlanta, GA to take his career to the next level. Atlanta was a different world than Pittsburgh, A job was hard to come by and a place to live, but he didn't let that stop him from performing and receiving standing ovations all over town. Interest began to rise from major label such as Lil John's label, Dream Works, Noon Time and many more.



Doors began to open to do songs & writing for Major and local Artists. While Dior thought he was going to the left, the Lord had him going to the right. He linked up with future partners King Penn and soon after Angelina, and the chemistry was Unbelievable. THEY decided to form a partnership and become TRACKWRITERZ Dior Quotes"Together we fought and are still fighting to become one of the Greatest Production teams of all times." Who would have known, Angelina and I lived in the same neighborhood and we did not know each other and never seen each other before." The Lord still managed to get us together as partners." I was singing in talent shows with the songs “King Penn” produced that was on the radio and had no idea the Lord was going to bring us together as partners, now together we three are "TRACKWRITERZ", He truly works in mysterious ways."
