About Me
"If you're going to make it in this business" says DIMITRI WHITE-ALEFAIO, "You need the type of mentality that's do or die -there's no alternative"
Today, the multi-talented superstar has indeed "made it" in "this business" His stunning multi-media success is the culmination of a childhood dream, brought to life by God-given talent and unwavering dedication to his craft. By 2002, the year of his high school graduation (4.0 GPA), DIMITRI was an award-winning Dancer/Choreographer and a member of Seattle-based gospel group Deliverance Unlimited (which he joined in 2000)
However in 2002 (at their peak), the group's success was anything but good times. After a heated management dispute and rising group tensions, it wasn't a question of if DIMITRI would leave the group, only when. He continued to record and perform with the group, only to leave early 2003 to pursue a solo career.
2004 saw DIMITRI'S first taste of success post Deliverance Unlimited. He signed a modeling contract with John Roberts Power Agency and has since worked with Anderson-Stokes Photography, JLS Prdoductions, Its All About U Photography, as well as noted Photographer Carlos Imani. On the business and promotional aspect, DIMITRI has collaboarted with sponsors Vibrant Ent. 206, Alize, Diadora, Definition Marketing, Definition Wireless, Seaspot, Masterpiece Motors & Phat Muzik Productions.
"DIMITRI represents all the things young people look for in a role model: Dedicated, Driven, and Determined". Agent KaTOYA GRANT said in a 2006 interview. "Back in high school, he would participate in all extra-ciricular activities. Always posing for the camera, always singing and dancing -he was doing something right!"
The buzz surrounding WHITE-ALEFAIO was begininng to bubble over. He was a Singer/Writer/Choreographer/& Model. In Summer 2006, he became Events Coordinator & Spokesperson for LaLa Steele's FUNKeSOUL Entertainment.
Constantly evolving, DIMITRI, yet again had reinvented himself and was ready to soar to higher heights but after heartbreakingly similar results to his experiences in Deliverance Unlimited left him financially uncompensated for his contributions to the company, DIMITRI found it was time to part ways with FUNKeSOUL.
Instead, DIMITRI opted to start his OWN promotional team with Manager and long-time friend & creative consultant KATOYA GRANT called UNPREDICTABLE PROMOTIONS. This gave DIMITRI the oppritunity to pursue his own vision and not someone elses; "It's crazy, you think you're going into a situation thats going to better you and help broden your horizions, when the reality is only YOU can determine your destiny. With that said, I've decided to do what makes me happy. We all know I sing, act, dance, design, etc. after a lot of thought I decided to embark on my own promotions team, just another title to attach to my resume!"
Adding to this electrifying resume, DIMITRI has landed high-profile appearances on two network television shows "BET: Access Granted" (2006) and "American Idol" (2007), before announcing that he, indeed, will have his own reality television series set to premiere via You Tube Spring 2009.
And while facing new pressures (including launching his own clothing line & recording his debut album), DIMITRI never failed to stay humble and forget the meaning of his journey: "Growing up, I was taught you can go anywhere you want to, as long as you don't forget where you come from" he says. "I will ALWAYS remember where I come from and whose shoulders I stand upon"
