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 still look at your listings and want to drive to Ohio and check you out and maybe sit in if you like on sax. But just seeing and hearing you sing will be a treat!- kev Oh I am listening to your new tracks from your release and it sounds great! You writing songs? Elevated is wonderful, mature, convincing and delivery from the heart, go on girl- kev

    I have been in the Pittsburgh area since July of last year. Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat there is somewhere to sit in. I am trying to do an early jam(matinee) but work every other saturday and they need to get skilled cats to be the house band. The place has many bands many days of the week but the jam is a thing Kevin Amos is trying to do as 'Fan Appreciation'. It did better when the venues actually hired the band, but then sometimes the jazz folks do'nt spend as much as the DJ crowd afterwards.- thanx for interest and would love you to come through again- kev
