DESHUN

..
Michigan born and raised, Deshun grew up around a city that spawned some of the greatest Motown artists, producers and arrangers of all time. Like most of these remarkable people, his gift for singing aspired in church at the early age of four. “Growing up in a church congregation where instruments weren’t used helped me develop an ear for acapella music, so when it comes to harmonizing or hearing a note that fits, I’m very much in my comfort zone“.What confirms Deshun as being one of these special talents is he puts GOD first in everything he does. “I have to put him first I’ve experienced more of my share of ups and downs, but I remain positive and steadfast with my faith in GOD, which allows me to write songs like “Dark Clouds” or “A Better Place”“I am so blessed in being able to write songs from life experiences and in doing so hoping that someone somewhere can feel the message because they’ve also experienced it or they’re experiencing it today“.Deshun introduces this Christian savvy Pop & Soul sound with catchy hooks and a smooth melodic style. "My music could be considered Christian, Pop and Soul, but the honest truth is you never really know what GOD might put on my heart, and that’s the excitement and the rush of not knowing what’s next.Deshun lends his talents and takes part in some of the greatest charity events around such as the grand opening of The African Museum in Detroit, The Lou Rawls Parade of Stars, The United Negro College Fund, The Magic Johnson Round Ball Classic, Toys 4 Tots, and Youth Group Outreach Programs.Captivating audiences with his talents through performances which include singing background for Superstar Singer Shania Twain, opening acts for Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, The Contour’s, Frankie Beverly, Spider Turner, R&B Group 112 and Jazz Superstar Alexander Zonchik.During his early R&B career Deshun had the pleasure of working with two of the greatest producers of the Motown era, Mr. Clay McMurray who's produced for artists such as Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5, Gladys Knight, Rick James, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Spider Turner, and Mr. Marlon McNichols who co-wrote and produced with the Great Norman Whitfield. Also working with one of the greatest producers of the late 90’s Mr. Bernard Terry; who produced for artists such as Baby Face, Madonna and the R&B Group Ready 4 the World“.Since moving to Tampa, FL in 2006 Deshun continued for 2 years performing in clubs, studios, and promoting his R&B music. “All that was fun, BUT, I felt an emptiness inside“. And although he performed and worked with some of the greatest secular artists and producers of those times, there was a much deeper calling within and knew that the secular world was not for him. He immediately answered the calling from GOD and returned to the life he always knew. THE CHRISTIAN LIFE & CHRISTIAN MUSIC!!“I know my calling and I have a message and a mission to share with the world“. To teach our youth as well as others that regardless of ones nationality, ethnicity, or color of skin we are all GOD’S children.To redefine Christian lives to become stronger in their relationship with Christ. To bring souls to our Heavenly Father. To define the meaning of life to those who don't know Christ as their personal Savior. To recharge souls by offering families worldwide with a clear, simple and undeniable message of Christ inspired music. To dance for GOD, to sing for GOD, and most of all, to live for GOD.Jesus calls us to, "Go into the world to preach the gospel” and gives the promise, “I am always with you to the end of the age”. “THERE’S NO BETTER FEELING THAN THAT”.Today the journey still continues for DESHUN and his Movement and Music Ministry for Christ!
