When Della Miles was a student at Prairie View A&M University in Texas, everyone knew she was destined to be a star.Well, Della's star is shining bright in Germany where she set the stage on fire in the role of Michelle Obama in the world premiere "HOPE-Obama the Musical." Dell plays the role opposite Jimmie Wilson, who plays Obama. Incidentally, Dell starred with Wilson in "Sisterella" the long-running musical executive produced by Michael Jackson and directed by Grammy Songwriter Robert Hart, at the LA Playhouse theater in the 90's.
When asked why a play about president Barak Obama, American writer Randall Hitchins had this to say, "I had the idea the musical during the presidential campaign . . . It was fascinating and the mood at the time fired my imagination." Further in the news release provided by the organizers, Hitchins continued, "All the people were hoping for a change for a better life and there was such a great, collective emotion." The play opened to rave revues and is expected to go on a world tour. http://www.daytondailynews.com/entertainment/music/obama-musical-set-to-open-in-germany-490799.html?cxtype=rss_music
Dell began singing at 3 and enhanced her vocal stylings while a student at Prairie View A&M where she eared the Bachelors Degree and performed with the famed Charles Gilpin Players, directed by C. Lee Turner. Upon graduation, Della moved from Houston to LA to pursue her career following her own path ethos: "there is no one rule in life – I live day by day."
The youngest of 6 (3 brothers and 2 sisters), Della is the pride and joy of the family. Miles exudes graceful power through her performance, which was demonstrated in her starring role as Ella (Sisterella). This role would take her to Berlin Germany for a two-year run.
Currently recording in Germany, she will elevate your soul, as her harmonies tunefully awaken your spirit – backed by orchestral melodies and the angelic whisperings of a beautiful choir. "I’m touched by music that actually says something – musical stories". Della has worked with many of her greatest inspirations – Joshua Kadison, Stevie Wonder and Whitney Houston. Her hearts desire of working beside Robert DeNiro in film indulges her to further her dreams.
Dell is a favorite among the Germans and can be seen performing around the country.
