Damita Chandler

Damita grew up in the epicenter of music – Detroit, Michigan – where both mainstream and gospel music flourished. Though she grew up in a religious home where the only type of music allowed was Gospel and classical, Damita’s musical sensibilities were formed. “We were a musical family, Damita said. “Really it was just church and music but I remember running around the house with my twin sister, picking up brushes and combs singing into them when my mom would play a record.”

Damita got her break as a professional artist when her and her sister got invited to  sing at the president of TM Records’ birthday party.  Immediately after they sang they were asked if interested in signing a deal and recording on his label and within a couple of months we were in the studio. Their first release was Time Is Running Out (1992).  Damita went on to pursue a solo career and released her self-titled debut in 2000 and No Looking Back in 2008.
