Devorah Lynne Dishington has pretty much been on the road ever since her meager beginnings. Raised mostly in the O. C. ( Orange County, California ), she grew up spending time along the West Coast and Mid - Western parts of the United States of America. Her golden brown eyes and auburn hair belie the truth of her origins, and she calls herself ' An American Mutt ' in the true sense of the words, for her highest percentage is over 1/4 Chickasaw ( her Father was born upon an Oklahoma Chickasaw Reservation ) and more than 3/8 Cherokee ( accumulated from both sides: her Mother's relative is Chief Sequoia, born: George Gist ) with the rest being a wild, incalculable mix of Dutch, English, French, German, Irish, and Scottish bloodlines, as well as other possible untraceable origins ( which may include the Middle East ). A melting - pot genetic background makes her appearance not wholly distinguishable ( with darker hair, no one knew what language to speak to her when she traveled to Istanbul, Türkiye ) and when coupled with her keen ear and true love of languages, allotting her ease to absorb accents and learn patois, allows her to play the widest spectrum of characters from vastly diverse backgrounds, countries, and ethnicities ( Amazon, English Isle Natives, German, Gypsy, French, Irish, Italian, Native American, Middle Eastern [ Northern Coastal Africa throughout the Arabian Peninsula to the Persian Gulf up to Afghanistan ], Scottish, Spanish, and Russian, as well as fantastical: Fairy, Vampire, and Zombie, to mention a few ). After numerous years, she possesses ample experience working with various Casts; Crews; Directors; Instructors; Film, Music, and Stage Producers; and other professionals throughout the infinite spheres of the Entertainment Industry. Creativity, Movies, Music, and Writing have always been of monumental importance through every portion of her life, and she has spent her entire existence creating and learning acting, language, literature, music, and theatre, intensively studying: Character, Comedy, Directing, Drama, Film, Improv, On - Camera, Master Classes, Scenes, Stage, and Writing; Music Composing, Performing, Recording, and Theory: Blues, Classical, Funk, Jazz, Pop, Rock, and Soul. Before she could talk or walk, she frightened her family by singing with a scream right before the solo on the Castaways' " Liar, Liar " and, once walking, always stopped mid - step to bounce in time with Credence Clearwater Revival's " Down on the Corner ". No wonder, she ultimately became an AFM Union Bassist, Keyboardist, and Vocalist; turned Professional at the age of thirteen; dabbles some on Drums and Guitars, and loves listening to and performing: 40 - 90s; Blues; Classical and Opera; Folk; Funky Funk; Jazz; Metal; Musical Theatre; New Wave; Pop; Punk; Reggae; Rhythm and Blues; Rock 'n Roll; Show and Disney Tunes; some Country and Hip Hop; and 'Soul' with a Capital 'S'! She is a proud Electric Bassist with a String Endorsement Contract, Extensive Live & Studio Expertise, & Union Membership, who is also a professional Keyboardist and Pianist with Equipment and Stage and Studio Skills. While at junior college, she took extensive Sound Reinforcement classes and was a few classes away from an Engineer certificate, gaining experience Live and in the Studio running sound for Commencement Services, Classical and Jazz Performances, and Blues, Pop, R&B, and Rock Bands.
