Capable of keeping up with the different styles of reggae, Lady 'D' has again proven herself to be an amazing and versatile reggae performer. And the people are responding positively. The same way Lady 'D' makes her lyrics and messages a priority, so too is her style of performance essential. "I really want to restore and show respect to reggae music especially the dancehall aspect to it." said Lady 'D'.
Performing a charity event at the LaRosa Banquet Hall in North York, which was financed and promoted by Double Dee Business Promotions, Lady 'D' set the stage. At the event we were made to feel at home, and one had to feel the room as it filled with anticipation, the venue itself has peaked all of my senses. Accompanying Lady 'D' for the evening was the "Lex Band".
This young woman is such a genuine individual that one can't help but fall head over heels for her and her music. She started off her set with an accapella of Rainbow by Nadine Sutherland and followed up with four of her current singles from her upcoming CD. So look out for Lady 'D'. She is an amazing talent. It was truly a night for Lady 'D'! - REGGAE EXCLUSIVE MAGAZINE

The sun was hot and IRIEFEST was too! There were many live performances at Nathan Philips Square, but the performance that seemed astounding to me was that of King Ujah and Lady 'D'. Lady 'D' fresh from the T-dot , and coming out of the Double Dee Business Promotions crew, she performed yesterday along side of King Ujah. Her accapella of Prison Walls by Jah Cure had all the men in the crowd going crazy. I felt like I was in a dance and the party just got hyped. She appeared on stage half way through the song and she surprised everyone in the crowd as she is a white, Canadian woman. And she was thought to be Jamaican. Her performance along side of King Ujah definitely proved she can hold her own.
King Ujah's performance was amazing as usual and on this new hit duet "Making Love Tonite", King Ujah definitely showed us just how versatile he can be and with Lady 'D' s smooth carribean flow and powerful voice this song will take them to the top! - REGGAE EXCLUSIVE MAGAZINE

The Christmas benefit show last night which was organized by Double Dee Business Promotions, definitely brought in the crowd! There were over 150 people of the community that showed up for the event to watch the show and to get a free Christmas meal. The performers at the event were Lady 'D' and the 'Lex Band". Lady 'D' had the seniors and the community dancing the night away into Christmas Eve. The crowd definitely did not want the night to end. Her reviving music and young look even had the cook playing the bongos beside her! It was amazing to see such promising talent take the time to show respect to where needs it the most. Parkdale needed a positive and uplifting event to put the needy and elderly into the Christmas spirit, and Lady 'D' and the Lex Band definitely made it all possible.l - THE WEEKLY STAR

Bio
LADY "D"
Lady "D" has loved to sing since the young age of 6. Ever since she could talk, her dream and aspiration in life was to win a Music award on the Grammys or a Canadian Juno award. As a young girl she looked up to and admired artists such as Whitney Houston, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, and Mary J. Blige.
