Freelance cellist, zealous about bringing music to all walks of life. Her favorite quote “When words fail, music speaks” 

Deja graduated high school from Grand Prairie Fine Arts Academy, then continued her studies at University of Arizona in Music Performance. Deja has the hopes to continue her education in both Music Performance and Music Therapy. She is now based in Phoenix, teaching cello to kids at SOUNDS Academy. Deja also performs gigs around the Phoenix Metroplex among other cities as well. 

Her goal is to not only create more musical opportunities to our youth, but create more diversity in the music that they play.  While Deja is classically trained, loves to incorporate jazz, R&B, and rap in her cello playing. She believes cello is not just a classical instrument, but a vessel for creating all types of music. When Deja is not playing cello, she loves to travel and bake delicious desserts.
