About Me

Music simply defines what Dion is made up of. It literally flows through his veins. His ability to create melodic, commercial music that the world can relate to is absolutely amazing. To be able to take everday situations in life and transform them into a musical masterpiece is truly a God given talent. Dion comes from a very musically inclined family with both his parents being singers and his mother's father being a singer. To all 13 of his aunts and uncles, on his mother's side, being musically inclined (either being singers or musicians). He recognized he had this gift at an early age but his family didn't know that it would shine through him like it does. He has shared the stage with so many big artists of this time ranging from R&B to Gospel lending his background vocals and being an opening act at concerts. He headlines tours in Italy, Europe yearly doing some of the biggest concert venues and TV stations sharing his talents beyond the boarders of the United States. Now being a very skilled entertainer, songwriter and producer, he's combining his talents with two other very skilled musicians, Freddie Allen and Reggie Miller, to form the hitmaking production team The Republik.
