Dorie: “I walk to my own beat. I am a forward thinker. I think outside of the box. I am amazingly comfortable in my skin and live by the cardinal rule of the heart – LOVE!”

Dorie’s team is rounded out by her husband, producer, co-composer and multi-instrumentalist Kamau Seitu. They are a match made in musical Heaven. Dorie and Kamau have written for Diana Ross, Johnny Mathis, The Spinners, Michael Henderson and Cheryl Lynn.
