About Me


Profile courtesy of MySpace LayoutsPoet/Producer/Musician/Teacher, D-Win catches your attention with a realness that makes his music an undeniable asset to your all-time-favorite collection. D-Win combines key elements like hot beats, percussion, live bass, keys and vocals chanting musical melodies (classic D-Win style). D-Win delivers something verbally and musically, where you just might find yourself venturing in to a creative journey all your own. D-Win invites you to experience two very real aspects of Detroit culture like gambling, car races and classic cars. D-Win developed his sound through listening to and absorbing the good vibes in Jazz, Rock, Latin, Neo-Soul,Funk and rap music. His concepts, breaks and choruses brings his tracks to life. D-Win is as real as you can get and speaks on what is going on in the world rather than gimmicks and gags. D-Win was born and bred in northwest Detroit and came up on 15 years experience in the music game. His former group Ditmot (descendants in the midst of thought) is known in Detroit's hip-hop community. D-Win has developed many working relationships with established artists and producers in the music industry. His mission to represent hip-hop as it truly is...Detroit style.
