With a sophisticated style that juxtaposes R&B, funk, dance music, blues, jazz, and Black Gospel, Dillard forged a unique identity on the church music scene with his New Generation Chorale (since renamed New-G). Beginning with 1991's The Promise, his complex fusion of styles and bold choral and rhythmic arrangements enhanced an already dynamic vocal style.
Ricky Dillard is a award winning and highly acclaimed gospel artist, choir director, and songwriter known for his dynamic and innovative approach to gospel choir music. Born on February 25, 1965, in Chicago, Illinois, Dillard has been a major figure in the gospel music industry for over three decades, blending traditional gospel sounds with contemporary elements to create a unique and powerful worship experience.
