Texas-born and Nashville-based artist Denitia grew up outside Houston, immersed in school choir and learning multiple instruments. Influenced by country legends, praise and worship music, and alternative rock, she moved to Nashville for college and spent a decade in Brooklyn before returning to her country music roots. Her 2022 album, Highways, is an “alt-country ramble” acclaimed for its tuneful and melancholic nature. Denitia’s return to the genre earned her recognition as an Artist to Watch by NPR, a residency with Black Opry and WXPN, and inclusion in Rissi Palmer’s Color Me Country Class of 2023. Recently named a 2024 CMT Next Woman of Country and a 2024 Artist to Watch by Nashville Scene, she made her debut at the Grand Ole Opry in June 2024. Denitia’s upcoming album, Sunset Drive, is described as a louder evolution of Highways, weaving heartache, romance, and wanderlust into a bittersweet narrative about life’s journey.
