About Me:
Dr. E is an Ohio based singer and songwriter whose vocals have been compared to a range of soul artists including Stephanie Mills, Erykah Badu, Macy Gray, and even Billie Holiday.

Dr. E's music can currently be heard on Soulchoonz Radio and Jazz City Radio.

Dr. E Musical Synopsis:

From the first moment you hear the clever lyrics and the dancing jazz rhythms, you recognize that Elevated isn’t your typical R&B effort. With a voice, which has all the character of Billie Holiday, raspy and playful, Dr. E has a diverse style that includes hints of blues, jazz, gospel and pop. Elevated is a collection of moods and themes including fighting for human rights (Dance To My Song); Pursuing one’s dreams (Put It Down; Good Girl Down). The title track, “Elevated,” is about overcoming adversity. “Your Everything” is a simple yet funky acoustic love song. “Walk This Road” is smooth and jazzy, while “Here’s That Rainy Day” and the poem that introduces it, “Breaking,” pay tribute to Phyllis Hyman. “Let Me Clear My Throat” exudes down home blues woman sass!

Musical Reviews:

“Vocally, Dr. E’s instrument recalls the lighter and playful side of Patti Labelle’s voice during her formative years in the Bluebelles.”- Mark Anthony Neal, commentator for National Public Radio

“If you stop after the first track, you’ll never realize the depth and versatility of Dr. E’s instrument.”
- Julie Cajigas, freelance writer and contributor to Ohio Authority Magazine

“Basically, you can’t put Dr. E in a box. You never know what to expect from her.” – Rhonda Crowder, Cleveland Call and Post

“A cursory listen to Richardson's Elevated yields appealing, glitzy strains of soul and jazz with distinctive vocals akin to those of Erykah Badu or Macy Gray.”– Kevin Joy, The Columbus Dispatch

    I guess we do know some of the same people! Hubb is a good cat all around. I haven't seen Cunningham in quite a while although we were just talking about him a couple days ago. Looking forward to hearing your work. You certainly hang in good company. Peace.

    I played at Penn State regularly in the early( and all the ) 90s in a Harrisburg jazz group called 'Fusion 4' mainly at Stoney's Post House, Spats( over 40 crowd), various private parties. The president of the musicians union was Andrew Jackson from Chester Pa. , I think Ronnie Burrage( great jazz drummer) is still there. I am watching you work it on you tube!- kevin hurst
