It takes only a few verses from her upcoming debut album, Uncrushed, to realize that Dana Parish has a refreshing take on how to connect with modern audiences: she refuses to sound like anyone but herself. While others mimic the hooks and melodies of their contemporaries, Parish avoids comparisons by simply staying true to her own powerful voice and songwriting. On Uncrushed, due out February 2008, that voice and those songs are given the spotlight they deserve and have seemingly demanded for some time. Over the course of the album’s eleven tracks, Parish has you hanging on to every word she sings, in turn delivering a debut that both announces a fresh new voice and anticipates a career of similarly soulful and authentic music.

Growing up just outside of Philadelphia, Dana always relished her nearness to a city with so much soul. By age 13, she was already writing songs, the first of which was inspired by her voice teacher, Paul Adkins, whom she credits with encouraging her to write for herself. She went on to study at the Manhattan School of Music, blending the urban vibe of Philadelphia with her raw, emotional delivery and a pop sensibility for writing memorable hooks. The result is a voice that effortlessly cuts across musical genres and trends, evident when considering Parish’s eclectic mix of influences, including Donnie Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Pat Benatar, Carole King, Billy Preston, Patty Griffin, Sheryl Crow and Damien Rice to name a few.
