Daille Kettrell (pianist, vocalist, songwriter, music educator, producer), a Camden, NJ native, has been performing professionally for over two decades, including work as a keyboardist with the late vibraphonist legend Lionel Hampton, flutist Bobbi Humphrey, and R&B artist Vesta Williams. She worked in bands that have opened for Patti LaBelle, George Benson, and Alex Bugnon. As a bandleader and music director, she led her bands, Rites of Passage and Khamelion throughout the NY/NJ area, and was welcomed at the Priory Restaurant in Newark, NJ to full-house crowds on a regular basis. As a composer, she received an honorable mention for her composition, “The Next Plateau” in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Her music skills have allowed her to travel across the nation with various artists, and she plans to take that to the international level.

Daille is known for her versatility and has the ability to compose various styles of music equally well. Her piano stylings and sultry alto voice can be heard in area venues performing pretty much every genre from jazz to pop. In addition to her first recorded album, “The Rite Time, The Rite Moment,” Daille's new indie release single, “For All” is available on various music platforms including Spotify and iTunes. As a music producer, she has a great ear and is highly skilled in this area. She was a core member of the band, Pristine Raeign from 2014 to 2020. Daille was instrumental in helping this group become one of the most sought-after groups in the Tri-State area of Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Along with Pristine Raeign founder Shianne Ladale, she was a co-writer of some of their best original material.

Other ensemble directing credits include her performances with WBGO Jazz-FM 88 Newark Radio Children’s Concerts and Gallery Receptions in Newark, NJ. Currently, she works with Mary Cross 2NspireU as keyboardist in addition to leading her own band, the Daille Kettrell Group. She is co-partner of the music company, Open4BusinessMusic with Ladale, singer/songwriter/musician.There are occasional events where she works with other projects. Daille can work in a solo piano, duo, trio, or other format. On selected Sundays she takes care of the music ministry at Center for Conscious Living in Moorestown, NJ and at Joyful Gathering Spiritual Center in Collingswood, NJ. Her future projects include new original recording, artist collaborations and producing film/TV music. Look for her bringing her own brand of adept musical skills, flow, and positive energy to a town near you!
