The
Chicago-born D'Breeon is playing the piano and saxophone since he
was six years old, taught by his mother Parrea Wilson, a concert
pianist. He studied under renowned Jazz-bassist Richard Davis at
the University at Wisconsin, Madison where he extensively played
the local club scene and became well known as an energetic Pop singer
and New-School saxophonist. He played with Stanley Jordan at a concert
in conjunction with Stanley Jordan's promotional tour. At the same
time, he composed and performed smash Pop-R&B jams with his band,
the Dans.
D'Breeon's work has been celebrated since he was part of the album
project "MadScene" with his band called the Dans. The "MadScene"
album featured the song "DO YOU", written by D'Breeon who also sang
lead vocals, which received excellent reviews. As a result, D'Breeon
was invited to Paisley Park (The Artist Formerly Known as Prince's)
recording studios to lay down the tracks that now appear on the
DO IT album as "Call Her".
Soon
after graduation, he moved to Los Angeles to work exclusively in
the music field. Here he performed in clubs like the Roxy and Gaylord
in Beverly Hills, the Sidewalk Cafe in St. Monica, Downtime -NYC,
Blue Note- Dresden Germany. He worked as an audio engineer in the
Black Hole Studio as well as an independent producer with a variety
of artists and labels. Chi Sound Records, DTA Records, Altar Records,
Masonic, Quick Silver and Big Sound Records are some of them. D'Breeon
definitely has the big city edge on his music.
D'Breeon's
official debut album "DO IT" was released in 2000 and distributed
in the US by Quicksilver/Increase and has been re-released in Europe
by Masonic Music/ Yaskin. The artist writes, records and masters
all his tracks at his own studio at Big Sound Records. D'Breeon's
brand-new double album "Fantasy" comes with a double punch: hot
R&B on CD 1 and cool Club-Jazz on CD 2. It is available in stores
and in most online outlets now.
The multi-faceted "D" explored other aspects of the entertainment
field as well. He appeared as a featured conga player on "The Mary
Thomas Story" Disney feature as well as an understudy for Morris
Day in the play "Lawd ha Mercy". D'Breeon has also finished performing
in and producing "America Now International", a DVD show that is
included with either the "Fantasy" or "Mysterious Lover" DVD Albums
that features cameo's from Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Herbie Hancock,
Jamie Fox, Ben Verene and many others. Recently, D'BREEON alias
Bryant Michael Davis was inducted into the Who's Who in America
2005-2006 Directory.
D'Breeon
has been blessed with the opportunity to work with several Award
winning and/or Grammy-nominated artists and producers. Lately, D'Breeon
himself became a voting member of the Grammy foundation.
At
this time the entertainer is concentrating on performance and promotion
of his NEW HIT double album "FANTASY" that is currently
being distributed by BIG
SOUND RECORDS.
