DELRA HARRIS WITHOUT FEAR-WITHOUT LIMITS-WITH PURPOSE Delra is viewed by many as a very positive, encouraging, humble and a well-poised man of style, sophistication and class. He has a genuine charisma that has captivated the hearts of many, as Delra Harris has become a respected household name. Jezebel Magazine modestly named him one of Atlanta?s most 50 beautiful people; however, Delra tells us ?Real beauty is something that can not be altered. It?s a part of who we are within, so when the hands of time start to fade away at the physical essence of what many may validate as beauty, our real beauty within will remain forever exquisite because it?s a reflection of who we are as person and not a mirrored image of how good we look in the designer ?genes? inherited at birth.? During Delra?s time away from recording, he tells us that his life was changed forever. A couple of years ago he says, ?I decided to take a full year off from the stage to indulge in more eminent times with my mom. At the time I made this very tranquil decision, I was unaware that it would be the last year we?d share together.? For me, losing my mom was the inconceivable and I couldn?t bear the thought of being without the one person that?s been by my side since conception. Somehow this just didn?t feel perceptible that she was suddenly gone. I reluctantly learned very quickly that it was in fact my new reality and that I was now faced with the excruciating pain of learning how to cope with the loss of a mother, my mother. It further gained me the desolate datum that no matter how long we live; life still seems too short to those we leave behind.? After losing my mom, the greatest love of my life, it has taken an implausible amount of faith, tears, courage, pain, determination and unsullied strength to feel a sense of belonging again; a feeling that was forever constant with my mom. Just a succinct glimpse at her beautiful piercing smile would make all things brighter and every heart feel lighter. That was my mom.? For anyone that still has a mom that?s living, I urge you to always respect, honor and adore her, not just because it?s one of GOD?s commandments but also because she?s your mother, and there?s no love like a mother?s love, and no greater pain than the pain of losing your mom.?

DELRA HARRIS WITHOUT FEAR-WITHOUT LIMITS-WITH PURPOSE
Through faith, I?ve learned to take the incalculable number of treasured memories shared between my mom and me and allow them to oblige, as a solid platform to forever hoist me to continue to do the things that I believe would make her proud.? Delra is doing just that? making her proud. Next month in September, he will release his new single ?Fallen Angel? from his upcoming new album scheduled for release next March. Which includes prospective hits like ?I?m here,? featuring Kimaya and ?Still,? a heart moving song written to his mother.
Preliminary critic reviews are already in and they are giving Harris?s new album admiring reviews with all thumbs up. Seth Garrett, Music critic BBA Music, London exclaims, ?This is another side of Harris I?ve been waiting to hear and always knew existed. Brilliantly done.? Joshua Andrews of Platinum Recording Records, NY says: "I always search for different but with integrity. I always find it in Delra?s music.?
Delra has been afforded many opportunities to transition into more secular genres of lyrical music, but he continues to stick to his belief that words of inspiration is pinnacle in what we all need on a day-to day. "By writing and recording music that inspires" says Delra, ? gives me the greatest feeling when a supporter communicates that my music has encouraged them or influenced them to make better choices. For me, it doesn?t get any better than that.?

Although he chooses to write words that inspire, don?t misinterpret, Delra's unique style of musical creativity and ability to follow his artful passion, while respectfully refusing all boundaries, has allowed him to skillfully blend elements of Pop, Techno, R & B, Hip Hop, Country, Rock and Gospel; breaking all pre-defined barriers and delivering potent elements of the unexpected to the world of inspirational music. The impact of his music of inspiration is fascinatingly recognized in multiple genres, including dance. By sticking to what he firmly believes, his music has successfully made its way into venues all over the world and is respectfully esteemed in over 87 Countries. His music will make you smile, laugh, cry, reflect and believe for greater. Delra was inimitably requested to perform one of his award winning songs, ?Keep the Faith? at the world renowned Jordan River in Jerusalem, Israel. Harris says this was an unspeakable experience. He can be also be found gracing the screens of our television on shows such as: Today in America with Terry Bradshaw, HLN, Bobby Jones, Sacramento & Company and many others. Delra is truly a "TOTAL HUMBLE" package! He skillfully writes all the lyrics to his songs, with the exception of an occasional few. He meticulously composes his music, including arranging and performing all background vocals on all of his songs. He is joined by a group of extremely talented musicians and co-producers that assist him in bringing his creativity to life. He also choreographs, directs and plays major roles in all of his videos, such as editing supervisor, treatment writer and VFX supervisor and writer. Four of the videos he directed and produced, all won "Video of The Year" awards. His unwavering commitment to his trust in GOD has helped him to understand that FAITH, is a powerful entity and one must exercise it in order for it to work miracles in their lives. That resolute FAITH combined with his myriad layers of talent and ingenuity can only be defined as "Pure Delra."

11:95 PM (ITALY)
Once in a lifetime ... a day starts and you realize that something strange has gone on inside you....you try to understand what... a strange confusion in your eyes tarnishes the view, something like a glaze that makes your family and the places where you grew up and lived into strangers ... same does the October sky in central Italy. It is like a light of life went out ... and you plunge into chaos. Suddenly... the awakening in the morning is no longer full of freshness and life as a sunrise in a rainforest. Once in a lifetime ... on a simple day ... the people I had next to me, became, in my eyes, nothing.... I could not give anything, nor could I receive. Thus it was that sudden force that arose within me.... a never known before force that pushed me towards something that I only realized sometime later. A few days later, almost unconsciously, I loaded my car with the few things I need and left, without a goal or a reliable place to go, almost running away from anyone I knew. I went instinctively toward the sun which remained in October .. the South of Italy absorbed me and then he spit me out towards Greece, even away from my native language. I want to have the right to remain silent, the same one granted to those who are with a bunch of people speaking a foreign... unknown...language; incomprehensible! At night, the sea is dark, the fellow travelers on the ship ..... appear sinister and inhospitable .. .but soon, the dawn in a solar and hot southern Greece reassured me with a nice smile, between lips of earth and eyelashes of sky. Putting foot on the ground, in my quest of rebirth, I got hit by a hot wind of life, noisy and shouting...but calm at the same time... a bazaar excitement early in the morning, warm and funny. My car starts to eat kilometers while the landscape turns orange, then ocher, deep yellow, and then at that time embracing the blue sky. Some fleeting memory of my origins and .. yesterday, from which I had just escaped, passed through my thoughts, but I never had any doubt! .. And ... well ... by instinct... my foot pushes on the accelerator, giving gas to the engine! The road runs towards Athens, and a stop for fuel is the best thing to do, to set foot on the ground again. Just a few minutes ... and I already don't want to stay still ... I begin again to eat asphalt as that beautiful morning disappears... eaten by ?the past? and a less comfortable afternoon welcomes me in going to the north of Greece, towards Thessaloniki ... I do not feel I want to stop... I do not feel at home ... but ... now I'm beginning to feel like an astronaut, who has just pierced the atmosphere ... ... spit out from from Earth's orbit... the world so familiar is now very far and the direction taken is of no return, but at the same time, I know that I must get to a point where the perspective changes, where to have the vision of the whole.... My car has a problem, and certainly, none of those of whom I ask for help.. have the slightest intention to manifest hospitality. I decided to go over with anger and frustration ... the same anger and frustration of who's hunted innocently. I abandon the proximity to the sea and I penetrate the ground, inside the dark of the night, now fallen dense ... I do not understand road signs with a menacing saltire black to cover a road sign in Cyrillic that, one after another, I meet until arriving at a border ... Macedonia ... the ancient Macedonia in front of me, just beyond the customs! Who expected it? Just past the border... I'm between two mountain ranges ... no lights ... no life...only darkness. Immediately after, with deep relief, I come to a gasoline station and I feel the need to meet human beings, not to miss myself inside solitude. As soon as I set foot on the ground and I shared a smile with the gas station's worker, I feel strong... the feeling similar to the same you have when you are a few steps from home. The Macedonian people are friendly and hospitable.. even if immersed in the heart of the earth, the sea far away, it gives the sense of a people that has a rich history in the millennia. I wonder what the inscription meant in Cyrillic that I had met.... He explained me that it is the name of their capital, Skopje ... I didn't even know it existed ... but I have always been fascinated by geography! Skopje is hated by the Greeks because of an old dispute on the name of the state of belonging ... Macedonia explained why the directions covered with black crosses. Fixed the issue to my car, I feel again the same strange strength pushing me.. I have to go to Skopje ... and then decide whether to stay or not.
I arrive in the middle of the night ..and the city welcomes me with their happy movement.... and although it is night ... it seems like it is day. I was so much in the city where life is everything. I did not wake up happy in the morning yet, but .. ..the streets.. macedonian citizens ..and a woman with a Macedonian name meaning "loving" reminded me that the human being is also merciful, who befriended without wanting anything back, only for the sheer pleasure to be of assistance. My neighbor ... with all the dignity of a real man ... offered me his unconditional friendship ... he showed me the beauty of the land and its history .. basins of water between two mountains called ?Matka Lake? which translated would mean "uterus" ... where hatching the principle of life! I remain impressed as the smell of musk, water as the source of life. Still I don't have desire to talk and often I use my false ignorance about their language ..and so... while my friends talk, sitting in a coffee bar in front of the wonderful salads Macedonians unusually served to accompany the beers or Turkish coffee ... I take this opportunity to look around, looking at nothing... to be honest.. Actually I'm speaking with myself ... . long conversations with myself... and my thoughts entertain me ... It's a great feeling the "right to silence" ... it's a bit like when a child, afraid to sleep alone in a dark room, feel the fear disappear, while he slip into sleep, hearing the voice of his mother speaking. .. Voices and lights reaches his bed, and he's not alone , so he can relax and think about the things he will do the next day. A fantasy of a new sunshining day and many new games ... while the sleep, secretly, before he can realize, won. Continental cold winters .. when the thermometer drops 14 째 below zero and the roads are a skating rink where old machines, swinging like a carnival ... clashing festively, without serious consequences ... and the steam comes out from the houses and supermarkets, as well as hot summers ... over 40 째 in the evenings, but who knows become fresh and seductive, are telling me..."time is passing" During one of these hot nights, I decided to take a walk in the city center. New buildings are growing rapidly, while a car with the rear window smashed by a stone, stops at a traffic light and a chariot pulled by two horses dressed with beautiful colored feathers placed parallel to the ears, alongside sounds of gypsy rhythms, come from streets ..as a carnival .. my steps are relaxed and calm until my feet stop. Looking at the ground, I realized I stopped over a tile with a written (in cyrillic obviously) that, for my laziness, I still have not learned ..and so I ask the meaning. Someone explained me that this is the point where the native house of Mother Teresa was located. At that exact moment, the time around me has stopped ... a feeling of warmth and well-being has pervaded me ... and I've understood why I had to do all those miles to reach a certain point of the earth, with ... an exact latitude and longitude. I understood why the Macedonian people were immediately so familiar and friendly to me. The feeling of loneliness, confusion and bewilderment abandoned me that moment, and, in the same instant .. a sense of balance in the world surrounding, had taken me...... finally! In that moment I realized that we, human beings, are committed till exasperation in manipulating our destiny, because we are influenced by other models or false induced needs, for all of our life, when in fact this balance has always given us everything we had really needed. Just then, finally, I understood the reason for that strength to whom it had been impossible to resist, that pushed me, that distant day, starting and following my instincts. Life had returned serene and lush inside me, as if by magic. Finally i understood why all these days was submerged inside a particular balance. Shortly after I got home, ... to my true home ..and at the doorway I found, waiting for me, a wonderful scarab. To the ancient Egyptians, the scarab (Kheperer that comes from the verb kheper , ?rebirth?) was a symptom of resurrection to new life ... human civilization then, had already had my same path many times. From t his st ory and f ol l owing t hat same inst inct , an al bum was born, a concept al bum t hat ret races t he st ory.

Some people feel that their life is meaningless and that is just not true. We all have a reason to be here. We all have a purpose. Some of us have artistic gifts used for inspiring and entertaining others. Some of us have sympathetic gifts used for helping others and changing the world. Some of us have the gift of knowledge used for educating people and helping others understand things. Some of us have the gift of humor to make people laugh away their problems and look at the brighter side. Some of us have a huge love for humanity, animals and wildlife and that love is expressed by helping the planet which in turn helps us all. We all possess something inside of us that makes us special and it will contribute to helping someone in this world. Our lives could very well inspire and save the lives of others. You never know who is watching you and taking influence because of your existence. You never know who you may run into in life. Something will happen to you in life that requires you to use your gift, so if you have not found your gift yet, start your soul-searching journey today. One love. God bless. ~ Keisha Dowdy
