Album Notes

Deon was born on May 8, 1986 to a loving mother in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He was primed to become a singer at a young age as he travelled throughout the nation with his family’s group, The Fantastic GoldenAires. At the age of three, Deon could be heard singing with his family at rehearsals and various events. By the age of thirteen, Deon began to sing backup for numerous artists that came to the area. Because Deon wanted to do explore other options in the musical arena, he began to write and arrange his own music. Within months, Deon was signed to a management company and released his first single, “Wonderful”. Because this single was so popular, Deon immediately released a follow-up single entitled “You Can’t Mess With Me Satan”. Local radio stations immediately began to play his singles which afforded Deon the opportunity to market his product regionally. Since his humble beginning, Deon has reached several milestones in his career. In the Fall of 2004, Deon released his self-titled debut project. This album was well-received by everyone. In 2005, Deon took part in a showcase to benefit the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. He won second place for musical skills. In 2006, Deon recorded a rendition of Sam Cooke’s “A Change Gone Come”. This rendition was a primary musical selection during ABC’s tribute to the Rev. Dr. martin Luther King Junior. Deon is also a spokesperson for the national “Anti-Smoking Campaign” and can be seen on numerous television commercials discouraging tobacco use. In 2007, Deon participated on NBC’s hit reality show, “Clash of the Choirs”. His choir won third based on audience appeal. This was a tremendous accomplishment for Deon and led to a live broadcast spot on ESPN’s Daytona Race. Deon has attained many goals throughout the years and 2008 promises to be just as fruitful. Deon is now signed with Assurance Ministries and W.M. Music Incorporated. Under this new management team, Deon will release his newest project that will feature the hot new singles “Brighter Day” and“Covered”. Not only is Deon a solo artist, but he is also a lead singer with Minister James A. Willis Jr. and the Nu Praze Chorale, This nationally acclaimed gospel group has been featured at many conferences, concerts and events. Deon’s musical talents are matchless. This young man realizes that God is in control and looks forward to all of the things that are in store for him. We encourage you to continue to support Deon as he continues to spread the Word of God through song.
