Born in St. Louis, Missouri and raised in Oakland, California, there has always been a steady stream of church music to impact her life, including the songs of great gospel music legends who originated from the California Bay Area.

Doris also recall a time when she was facing a number of challenges in her personal life. She found few reliable resources to turn to. So, she looked within her own heart to find her faith in God that was nurtured as a child. Her love for God and the church gave her inspiration and the solace she desperately needed. Leaning on those childhood experiences, she began to express her heart in writing poetry. Those creative forms of expression became immediate places of refuge for her.

Writing about her relationship with the Lord Jesus has given her stability and a rock solid foundation to stand on. She says of her relationship, “Once I truly discovered who my lord really was to me and all that he had done I began to transform my poems into songs of adoration.”

Doris hopes that her music will inspire and encourage others to develop a more intimate and stronger relationship with Christ.
