Like so many artists, singing and writing started as an outlet for her as a child and evolved into a craft she loved and adored. Heavily influenced by songwriters such as Sade, Amel Larrieux & Corinne Bailey Rae, Debbie’s writing style reflects a tender articulation of the human condition and offers musical therapy for the soul. Her singing style is often compared to Norah Jones.
Though only starting her professional journey in music in 2012, Debbie has hit the ground running. She released her first local single “Amber” in November of 2012, followed closely by fan favorite “We are Love” in February 2013 and “Til I Die” in August 2013. On the performance circuit, the nominee for the 2014 Barbados Music Awards “Best New Artist” recently performed during two of the Canadian Music Week 2013 showcases in Toronto, Canada after being selected from an international field of thousands. She also appeared as the headlining act at Redbones Blues Cafe in Jamaica in September of 2013. Her first single “Amber” was recently chosen to promote The Pixel Project’s 2014 anti-domestic violence campaign and can be found on the organization’s charity album release.
Debbie has also begun to draw the attention of some of the world’s elite. She delighted guests when she performed for American celebrities Erin Fetherston and Gabe Saporta at their wedding on May 26, 2013. With a rapidly spreading reputation for bringing world-class laid back and soulful entertainment to private events, she also performed for Sir Alex Ferguson in January 2014, Lord Anthony Bamford in March 2014 and Prince Andrew, Duke of York in April 2014.
Aspiring to write music for TV and Film, Debbie had the privilege of writing for the local (Barbadian) film “Chrissy”. The film has gone on to receive international acclaim from the Caribbean film community in the UK, Canada, Jamaica and the U.S. where her song “I Did It” can be heard in the film’s score. ” Writing for ‘Chrissy’ warmed my heart. The film, touches the soul. It tugs at bits and pieces of you that have forgotten in the hustle and bustle of life… that everyone has their own stories, their own tragedies and their own triumphs. I was so blessed to be able to write music for such an amazing story of struggle, faith and triumph.” says Reifer.
When she’s not performing or making the music she loves to share with world, Debbie donates her time to supporting local charities with live performances for fundraisers, including local charity “Variety Children’s Charity” which raised over $18,000 with their 2013 kickoff event for disadvantaged children in Barbados.
Her “Heart’s Like Mine” EP is everything that is human, soulful and easy; from raw and organic tracks like “Amber” to carefree compositions like “We Are Love”. Her laid back vocal style, triggers a sense of peace and contentment with every note and it’s easy to get lost in the mood she brings to her music.
