About Me


Game provided by: Myspace GamesDJ Z DJ DJ Z DJ Z Z Z Click here to get Falling Objects Z Z DJ Z Z Z DJ Z Z DJ Z DJ Z Z DJBorn Dana Marsale Jones in Temple, Texas to Victor & Joyce Jones, Dana’s father was in the military for most of his life so, needless to say, he’s seen a-lot more of the world than your average li'l po-boy from Texas. Throughout his lifetime, Dana has lived in Anchorage Alaska, Ft Gordon GA, Europe (Bad Kreuznach Germany), Sierra Vista AZ, and back to Augusta GA again. He was fortunate enough to be able to see Spain, Italy, France, England, and Berlin as a young man while in Europe with his parents.Dana graduated from Buena High School in Sierra Vista, Arizona, just before his father retired from the military. Dana credits his singing beginnings to Mrs Rhonda Westman (his favorite choir teacher). After his graduation, Dana’s folks decided they liked Augusta Ga enough to retire and buy a home there. Knowing this would be a golden opportunity for him to find a singing group to be a part of, (since he’d been singing in various choirs since the 4th grade until his high school graduation, in which he was a part of 2 separate choirs; concert choir and "swing choir", where they sang and danced to oldies tunes as well as up-to-date tunes), Dana was excited to make the move. Dana became part of an R&B group within 2 months of moving to Augusta. They called themselves “M-Pulse”. He became their 'bass' man. In their 'hey day', they made a-lot of accomplishments, which were publicized in one of the local Augusta newspapers. Some of their noted public performances include; Augusta Mall talent shows, Foxy 103/Power 107 radio talent shows, a carnival talent show (in which they won 1st place), an Augusta May Fest, a few basketball half-time shows, and the 1992 Augusta Black Expo.Shortly thereafter Dana joined the military (10/'93), and served about 5 years. Having been to Korea and Ft Benning Ga on his own, it was definitely a growing-up-phase in Dana’s life. After being honorably discharged from the Army, Dana worked a few odd jobs and security jobs in Columbus GA. In May of 1999, he moved back to Augusta GA ready for a “change". Dana attended GA Military College in August of that same year (Crim.Justice major), and graduated 6/20/01. Then earned his BS in Public Administration w/Criminal Justice emphasis from Brenau University in May of 2003, still keeping his dream alive searching for producers to work with in the hopes of creating a solid demo to shop. Then, hope became reality, and Dana completed an r&b album entitled "Playa" which received moderate U.S., but better overseas success, with the help of CDbaby. Since then, Dana has rededicated his life to the real 'super-producer' Jesus Christ & wrote 2 of his realest testimonials on wax! 'Keep on Singin' & 'Praisin him Still' depict to the very last word, his old AND new relationship w/Christ.In October of 2006, D. made "The Move" to Atlanta GA to more seriously pursue his music career. While in the "dirty dirty", Dana touched bases with an Augusta GA-based entertainment group, and with them, participated in several club performances, as well as outdoor performances, (i.e. Gifford, S.C. June Fest & the James Brown Festival, in Augusta GA '06, only months before James Browns’ passing), in which Dana participated as a featured act. Then, in the most unlikely of events, D. ended up temporarily moving to Ohio, & there he completed his most inspirational yet soulful album to date,"So SOuL", in which D. himself has proclaimed to be "the most innovative, soulful, thought-provoking peek into his life to date"!. With all faith, (not hope) that his musical aspirations will come to fruition! Dana has been blessed to sing back-up for several local artists, who are destined to be among the fresh new “inspirational” soul singers in the A-Town!. In September of '07 Dana had to postpone his classes at Kennesaw State University as a Paralegal student, to work on his new album "So SOuL" while in Ohio, but in April of '08 it was on again & with the album done, personal matters handled & aside, it was time to head back to the "A" to really handle business!Dedicated to whatever projects may come his way, Dana’s work ethic & intense longing to understand the music business as a BUSINESS as well as an entertainment 'ministry', is what will make him a success in any business he chooses to do. Puttin' it down like its supposed to be. D.joneZ is "So SOuL", Yall!! Hear $ome sampleZ off the new album@ Http://cdbaby.com/cd/djonez2 .... hit me up!, be Blessed & be eaZy!!, d.joneZ .....
