A native of Western Pennsylvania, Dana Fields is a chosen vessel of God and exemplifies the life of Christ through her devotion to God, family and ministry. Born in Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania, she is the younger of two daughters born to Rev. Dr. William and Rev. Dr. Barbara Terry.

 

Actively singing since age 3, Dana grew up as part of the family quartet which traveled to various churches and events. The rich family legacy of music and ministry has been passed down to her for more than four generations.

 

She has been gifted by God to love the arts from singing, writing, the visual arts, acting and modeling. She is a singer/songwriter/lyricist at heart and chooses to use her gifts and talents to glorify God. In doing so, Dana’s music ministry is power-packed with vibrant vocals and relevant lyrics that will elevate the listener to a higher realm of personal praise! Her style is a blend of Contemporary Christian, Praise and Worship, Jazz Soul and R&B with a solid foundation of Gospel.

To enlarge her territories, she stepped out in faith and God opened the door for Dana to be cast for the role of Velma in the 2006 production of Regina Taylor’s “Crowns” at the Open Stage of Harrisburg. Due to the production being widely and well received, Crowns returned to the Open Stage for its 2nd season in May 2007. For two seasons, 2011 & 2012 she performed the roll of the Teacher in the CLA Musical Production “The Gospel According to Scrooge”. Then in 2013, she performed the role of Martha Pentecost, in August Wilson’s play, “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone”, Open Stage Harrisburg. In the spring of 2017, she landed the lead role of Terry Lou in the musical stage play “The Rapture” and she made a cameo appearance as legendary Lena Horne in the musical stage play “A Warm Heart of Steel”.

 

From the age of 14 to 23, Dana modeled throughout the Pittsburgh area in print and runway. When she married DeWayne Fields in 1992, she closed that chapter of her life to relocate to Harrisburg, PA and concentrate on growing in her marriage. Seventeen years late, 2009, she was encouraged to step outin the modeling industry again. This faith-move afforded Dana many opportunities not only in modeling but as a sought after talent appearing in numerous local and national Industrial Videos, Commercials and establishing her as a Voiceover Talent.

 

Writing lyrics and melodies since childhood, Dana paired up with Motown Producer Leonard Caston to release her first single Waiting On You & I Will Sing Praises in 2002.
