Chapter One

Da'Juan's Bio Some people are born knowing there destiny. I believe this to be true in my case. Ever since I can remember I've always been around music. I can remember my mother singing in her gospel choir before I was able to complete my first sentence. It was during that time I began to imitate my mother. As I grew older singing became second nature to me. Eventually, I began performing in school talent shows, local showcases, singing, rapping, anything to be on stage performing. But even then, it was all just for fun. It was in 1999 that my father would introduce me to the person who would change my relationship with music forever. His name was Forrest. Forrest worked in a studio and after hearing my potential, decided to take me under his wing and began showing me the recording process. Through him I learned the theory of music, how to write, arrange, and I began to find myself artistically. He gave me the tools and the environment to work on my craft. The more I evolved musically, the more I realized my talent and the importance of properly communicating that to the world. I consider myself a mouthpiece representing those who have no voice, through my music. I have always admired well rounded musical influences such as Carl Thomas, Bilal, Dave Hollister, Tyrese, Brian Mcknight just to name a few. Each of these artists encompass elements musically that remain real to there listeners. They're true to who they are artistically, as well they send a positive message to listeners. My music has an authentic soulfulness that I feel captures the essence of who Dajuan really is, and provides me with the leverage needed to further music. My style is a throw back to what R&B music used to be, sung by legends such as Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Donny Hathaway, & Wilson Pickett. Along with my musical ability, I have developed an extreme passion for business. The knowledge I have acquired has inspired me to start my own Label (L.A.B. Entertainment L.L.C.), with partners who have the same work ethics and visions as myself. My biggest inspiration in my life comes from a person small in stature, my son Dewuan Ja'mont Wilson Jr.. There's something unexplainable about the focus and clarity that a child can bring you. Being a father keeps my responsibility to music all in perspective. My son is a constant reminder of my purpose in life and the conscientiousness that goes with that. It is his unconditional love that I can depend on to continue motivating and reminding me why this path has been chosen for me. We now have all the pieces of the puzzle and feel we are on our way. Music and the ability to perform it is a blessing that GOD has granted me and through his guidance, I plan on fulfilling what I know I'm destined for. To express my life story through music, a story filled with passion, stories that my audience can relate to and be inspired by, no matter how tough times are. Being able to live with no regrets! As long as I give 100%, everything else will fall into place. This is my essence. This is Da'Juan........
