Drea was discovered by the Prince of Gospel himself, John P. Kee.  She is a former Verity Records/Zomba Aritst. Her first solo album "Oo-Wee" amazingly sold 30,000 copies (that is even without touring) and charted on billboard a few years back. 

Her life would soon change for the better when Kee offered her a major solo deal. Kee felt that the world still had not met the REAL DREA RANDLE. In 1999, Drea released her first album through verity Records entitled ” Ooo-Wee”. The project was produced by non-other than Kee. The album birthed such hits as “Ooo-Wee”, “Difference”, and of course, the funky composition “Bounce Back”. The success of her album resulted in her charting on Billboard and selling over 30,000 units. 

Not soon after, more doors would soon open for her. Drea’s life would take another turn toward success. In 2003, Bishop T.D. Jakes invited Drea to be a lead vocalist on the T.D. Jakes & The Potter’s House “A Wing and A Prayer” Album where she lead the sassy and ever-popular tune “It’s Already Done”. This song garnered Drea her first national television appearance on the B.E.T Celebration of Gospel. Following that opportunity, she made an appearance on Myron Williams’ song “It All Works Together” from one of his most recent albums. 

Her latest single, Do What's Right, is available on all digital outlets, and on all digital streaming platforms.

In this episode of Dante's Harmony Podcast, Danté is joined by Daric Bennett and Carlton Campbell of The Campbell Brothers. These phenomenal musicians, and professors in their own right, talk candidly about their contribution to The Campbell Brothers, A Love Supreme, musicianship, sage advise for fellow musicians, their professions as entrepreneurs and music professors. 

Daric Bennett, a respected player and educator, Daric began his musical career playing gospel.  Mostly self-taught, learning by ear, his playing advanced quickly when he began studying music during his early years of school.  Daric is well known for his unique percussive style, and for combining funk, blues, gospel and even jazz fusion into his playing.  Having appeared on numerous albums, countless live and televised performances Daric now also maintains a regular touring schedule.

Carlton Campbell, Carlton continues to develop his musicianship by assimilating the classic rudiments of drumming with his improvisational upbringing in church to formulate a style that is all its own, that always finds itself in the groove.  It is Carlton’s passion to continue to share his musical talents as a musician, producer, and recording & mixing engineer, around this great world for as long as possible.

Carlton’s experience includes performances with a variety national & international recording artists across various genres, such as The Campbell Brothers, Sonny Landrith, Derek Trucks, Robert Randolph, Robben Ford, Warren Haynes, Charlie Hunter, John Medeski, Dr. Bobby Jones, Ricky Dillard, Karen Clark-Sheard, Dorinda Clark-Cole (of the legendary Clark Sisters), Otis Taylor, and Bill Frisell to name a few.
