Deidré Ann Howard (born November 27, 1993), best known mononymously as Deidré (pronounced dee-dra), is an American R&B singer, songwriter, dancer, choreographer, and actress. Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she enrolled in various performing arts schools, and was first exposed to singing and dancing competitions as a child.

Deidre began in a group that didn't finish what was started. We had difficulties so she decided to begin a solo career. At that time People always doughted the 7-year-old. “ It was even times when my own family couldn’t believe I could sing, or dance.” Deidre says. Later on, I got to a time when I wanted to give up. Being who I was in school, was hard because I wasn’t the popular kid, or the nerd, I would say I was in the middle. Everything is learning, like a trial and error process. Music is my passion knowing that people love what I do means so much.

Growing up in the large city of Milwaukee, WI knowing stars as Michael Jackson, and Beyonce were always making music. The star had the fuel to become something. “I always thought I could be the worlds first Deidre” The 7-year-old wants to show people that she’s not just a singer, but and dancer,actor,entertainer, and a song writer. Writing music for the first time was a challenge Deidre prefers to write her own music. “ It’s my emotion, I know I’m a good writer. But if someone could sum my emotions into a better song, I would take theirs first. The song I would have written would be maybe a part 2. “ The teen laughs.

On Deidre’s first album a few songs would be about her life. “ Actually, I wanted most of the songs to be like songs people can just party to.” She smiles. At times “I can’t just bust out with lyrics to a song. When wordsd come to my head I write then down then continue from there.” Deidre giggles. Coming Up in Milwaukee the teen wasn’t a person that would always hang out a lot. Lots of People knew her, made friends with her. “ At times I was in the in-crowd, but at other times I wasn’t.”

- I'd rather be known as the first Deidre," she says. "At the same time, I can fill the void, but Beyonce and Michael Jackson's outstanding memories in my head were not going anywhere. When I was about 7 They were still doing their thing, but I feel I can be a part of that and just continue to be the best that I can be at what I do."
