Damion is VUs resident
front man/vocalist. He discovered his potential at
the age of 17 when he was urged to try out a local
talent show and became a finalist. Since then he has
been exposed to a variety of musical genres. Music
has always been a focal point in his home life, a
keen listener of motown, soul, reggae and gospel,
clearly echoes through his gritty vocals and harmonic
tones. He has worked within a four-piece group Seizons,
collaborated on projects with gospel collective Seven
and also producers Tranzformerz where in 2004 they
were awarded Best Unsigned Act at the first ever Underground
Music Awards.
At the top of 2004, Damion was introduced to Visionary
Underground and its breakbeat style. After working
on their first track Eye Of The Storm
(VUs first official CD release) it soon
became evident that there was a chemistry that was
working and everybody had the same creative drives
even though all members had started in a different
musical genre. Like a sponge he has absorbed the flavour
and delivered it back out in his own unique and powerful
style.
Within VU, Damion adds soulful and conscious vocals
that compliment the hard, grimy beats delivered by
FeelFree. His vocal and lyrical contribution has added
yet another dimension to the VU sound.
2007 also saw Damion out doing a bit of backing vocals for Amy Winehouse and new boy on the block David Jordan. |
