Bio
Dice Gamble grew up with a love for hip hop music in Evansville Indiana, an area not noted exactly for its fertile hip hop scene. Dice is a rapper, writer, music producer and vocal arranger with growing fame and a very interesting name.
Dice explains “My maiden name really is Gamble. I picked the ‘cooler rapper’ name Dice in 1996 instead of using my first name Veronica. When I rededicated my life to Jesus Christ in 2004, I prayed and asked The Lord if I should change my name. God lead me to see my name in His Word. The New Jerusalem in Rev 11:10-22 is described as a perfect six sided cube, like a die (Dice is plural for two die)! The definition of gamble in the Bible means to casting lots or to bet on a favorable outcome. The Biblical definition of Dice Gamble is to ‘Bet on the New Jerusalem’ or how I like to toss it out, ‘Take a Gamble on God!’”
Her latest album, Crazy Praise, represents who Dice is as a worshiper, rapper/singer, songwriter and teacher. Crazy Praise joins high-energy tracks with beautiful vocal arrangements, creating a style uniquely her own. Dice’s versatility takes listeners to a new plateau with “I Call Him,” an up tempo ballad where heads bob and souls are convicted to accept the message of God. “Can’t Nobody” and “Jesus Your Love for Me” are reminders that love from Jesus Christ is the most enduring love you can experience. “Crazy Praise” and “Satan Get behind Me” are God centered worship songs that guarantee all ages will enjoy this album for a lifetime. Produced by some of the best producers ,Christopher Moten, Christopher Lewis, Jonathan Carter, Devine Evans (Mary J Blige, Sammie, Lloyd) and Khalifani Morris (Nappy Roots, Dionne Farris), Crazy Praise is a soundtrack for the faithful and hopeful encouragement for the lost. Every song on this widely anticipated CD inspires and encourages the listener to keep believing.
In her youth, Gamble remembers falling in love with the beats, rhymes and production of early Hip-Hop. “I remember hearing Hip Hop music artist like the Treacherous Three, Salt-N-Pepa, The Dream Team, Roxanne Shante, Mc Lite and Run-D.M.C. From there I fell in love with Hip-Hop music." Dice’s overwhelming diversity in music has been shaped from many different life experiences, such as being raised in church with a musical family, playing in the high school band and collective influences picked up from traveling the world.
Moving from Evansville, Indiana to Atlanta Georgia in 1996 as a teenager, Dice’s dream of entering into the music industry happened just as quick as the nightmare of getting trapped in worldly destructive lifestyles. At the age of 21, she spent time touring with the popular Atlanta hip hop group C.O.M. UNIT. After the group disbanded, Gamble says depression, drugs, alcohol and sexual immorality became a part of her daily lifestyle.
“I remember I used to pray to die, because I was tired of waking up with the same empty feeling of purposelessness. I was living a ‘Super Star’ lifestyle, until I experienced three near death car accidents on the same highway, in the same spot, in a span of a couple months. During the second accident I was so afraid and frustrated I screamed out to God, ‘what do you want from me?!’ Immediately God spoke to me in a clear whisper and said, ‘Give your life to me’. Instantly a calming peace flowed over me. I knew God had a purpose for my life, by the way He answered my call.”
With numerous songs under her belt and brilliant future ahead of her Dice is quickly taking Holy Hip Hop to new plateaus. Dice Gamble’s dynamic impact is evident by receiving and being nominated for awards year after year from Holy Hip Hop, YGEA (Youth Gospel Entertainment Awards), Kingdom Choice Awards, Resa Mitchell Awards, Gospel Choice Awards and the list continues to grow.
Dice ministers, teaches and mentors at various youth conferences, rallies, detention centers, churches and events annually. She has become a popular performer that keeps fans dancing and singing. Committed to The Faith as a lifestyle, Veronica “Dice” Gamble is a licensed Minister of The Gospel through The Carter Theological Institute of Ministry. Currently, she is studying towards a degree in Religion at Liberty University.
Dice’s says: “I hope through my God given gifts people are encouraged to dig deeper into their faith and relationship with God. I pray my testimonies are light to those that feel alone, broken and helpless. I want everyone to know, no matter how many mistakes they have made, God is still working in their lives. He never leaves us nor forsakes us, and for that, we should give Him some Crazy Praise.”
