About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)Damon's dulcet melodious voice took the global music scene by storm with the release of his debut song, I Refuse in 1995. It became a dance club anthem and an international classic, rated on the Top 40 Hits of 1998 in the United Kingdom.The success of "I Refuse" was a dream come true. He felt the appreciation of his artistry while attending a club in New York City where he witnessed the dance floor erupt with the frenzied crowd singing the words to "I Refuse". "For an artist there can be no greater joy than feeling the fire that you have helped stoke burn so brightly in your presence," said Damon. His happiness was two-fold because he was not only the featured vocalist, but the lyricist as well."I Refuse", as well as the subsequent hit "Take My Hand" have been included on numerous compilation's such as those produced by the Ministry of Sound, Virgin Records (UK), and Kevin Yost (Acid Jazz Artist). Complimentary alliances with Rich of Filthy Rich, Todd "the God" Edwards and Kaleek have produced rhythmic, vibrant and sultry tracks showcasing Damon's vocal versatility and artistic acumen from house music to neo soul.Damon grew up in Dardago, Italy, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and now resides in the Washington, DC area. He equates his love of people and understanding of the human experience with his early exposure to many different cultural and social influences. Stretching to six feet, eight inches in junior high school further modified his sensibilities as to what it means to be unique and different. He grew into his height as he grew into his music through creative expression. Music and writing became his transforming mode of communication in a world that demands mindless conformity. The result? A symbiotic connection between the soul of an artist and the pulse of a growing audience demanding truth and beauty in art.The latest international hit featuring Damon is "Stormy Day", produced by Filthy Rich and Todd Edwards. The Seattle Weekly Music Section stated, "He subsumes the track vocals in a rich tapestry of constantly shifting tones over beats as thick as pudding". The silky majesty of Damon's voice is a staple that can only grow more magnificent over time. Feel the fire! Whether on the dance floor or perched on your window seat on a rainy day, Damon captures whatever mood you're in. Satisfaction guaranteed!
