It's true-that there hasn't been a heavy focus on that laid-back acoustic slow jams that goes back to the old school style and flavor of classic tunes from some of our greatest artists, such as Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gay. Now with the rebirth of new age renaissance comes the resurgence of an old school style along with a touch of new school soul/R&B.
Deshawn Hill will lead the way to bring back the music to where it once was with a twist. Bedford-Stuyvesant's own Deshawn Hill , was born in a household filled with musical talent, and experimented with different genres in his youth. "Because of the varied exposure I grew up with, I developed a passion for different types of music."
If you were to trace the origin of Deshawn on a map, your pencil would without doubt begin in New York City. Then, you would have to outline the borough of Brooklyn, continuing until you locate Bedford-Stuyvesant. It was there that Deshawn set his target for success as a result of him and his eight siblings being subjected to poverty and the violence of the streets of New York City.

 

Being inspired by his brothers, sister & host of others in the family he was always performing shows like Tuxedo Junction with Duke Ellington’s granddaughter Mercedes and Blues singer Poonanny, Joe Burns & Melwaters, traveled with Johnny Taylor and a host of others. Performed a solo for one of our greatest artist "Bobby Brown" sister's wedding. Open Shows for Brian Mc Knight and Christopher Williams.
With a vision, great determination, and confidence, Deshawn is determined for even greater success. Be on the lookout for Deshawn Hill!
