Davon White,( AKA Dee Black), has overcome many obstacles that artists face in the music industry. Growing up in Baltimore City, his journey of music began at the age of 16, and was influenced by the fame and success of close friends that were in the rap industry. It was the foundation of past experiences that eventually led him in 2002, to turn down a major label deal. His music is a mix of hip hop, R&B, and gospel, and has been categorized as “life” music. Promoting more of the positivity in hip hop culture is Blacks’ primary focus.
Not wanting to relinquish control to anyone but God, In 2010, Dee Black founded and established his own record label/company HisStory Music Group. The release of his debut album “The Book of Life” (October 2011) brought exposure and opportunity which included a performance at the Holy Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta, GA that same year. In 2012, Black was nominated for the Crunk for Christ “Street Minister of the Year” Award. Black has been the pioneer for positivity and success, and has been an inspiration to many.
Recent accomplishments and projects include a D.R.E.A.M campaign and the release of his next album “The Book of Life pt II….Red Ink”, coming May 2013. In addition, Black has signed a deal with Krush Records to distribute his album worldwide. This just marks the beginning of another level of greatness.
