Masterful Minds
have come up with innovative
concepts that are having an
impact on generations past,
present and future. Those of
African descent have masterfully
changed the tone of music for
decades. From native tribal
music, to spirituals, to blues
to R&B. All of these musical
elements have produced some of
the greatest talents the world
has seen. It is rare that you
find a talent that embodies the
evolution of music and speaks to
the multitudes of generations
both past and present. Della
Grant is one of those
innovators; her masterful mix of
reggae, soul and gospel music
has marked her territory in the
world of music.
A gifted singer from a family of
talented musicians, she has been
singing since the age of six.
Continuing a family legacy of
gifted musicians, her husband
Ralston Grant along with his
brother Norman are the famed
"Twinkle Brothers". Her
acceptance in the reggae
community has been not only
welcomed but also embraced. Her
poise as a singer, her grace as
an artist and her talent as a
human being can be heard and
seen through her music.

These hits have enjoyed critical
