Uniquely talented, dark brown eyed, smooth mellow voiced and a beautiful personality make Vontae Darby special. Not only in her recorded performances but also in her live performances as well. Vontae continues to mature as a vocalist and songwriter and her vocal prowess is expanding. Vontae knows what she wants to sound like and she knows just what her direction in the music field should be. She is determined to fit into that space. Her voice is a plethora of musical tonalities and, while she can sing most any type or style of song, her best so far, is the mellow love song styles. Whether fast or slow tempos, she excels in performance and delivery. Her voice, like a delicate instrument, produces silky smooth falsetto, mellow, throaty tones, and powerful diaphramic expressions of beautiful sounds. Vontae loves to write about love, real love and commitment, rather than the common type that has been popularized by her songwriter contemporaries. She feels that true love is special, even sacred and should not be mistaken for "physical" or "sexual" attraction, which often ends up in heartbreak and disappointment. After working with her as vocal coach and music arranger over the past 2 years, I feel that she is now ready mentally, vocally and artistically to step into the arena of world class vocalists. -Arthur G.
