BIDS START AT $100


In the last three weeks, Dorian Holley (vocal coach for TV's popular "American Idol") has sold out on cdbaby.com three times! His smoldering new release, Independent Film—a series of visual landscapes painting loss, joy, mystery, and the poetry of landing in love—is also on SoulTracks.com's Top 10 list.


Dorian sings on "Don’t Forget The Lyrics" and "Rediscovered". His distinctive voice is featured in the films Happy Feet and American Gangster, and he was the voice of Choirboy in The Five Heartbeats. Touring with everyone from Queen Latifah to James Taylor, Dorian has also backed up Christina Aquilera, Carlos Santana, Don Henley, Mary J. Blige, Chris Daughtry, and a host of others in between. Currently, he’s rehearsing with Michael Jackson for The King of Pop’s farewell tour.


*Caveat: Highest bidder must be able to receive Dorian's lesson in the Los Angeles, California area.
