David Enochs (born January 26th, 1982), known professionally as Diverze (sometimes stylized as Diverse), is an American multi-genre singer/songwriter.

Early life
Diverze, born David Enochs in Noble a suburb of Norman, Oklahoma, cultivated a deep passion for hip-hop during his upbringing and harbored aspirations of reaching new heights within the genre. At the tender age of 16, he commenced his journey by engaging in songwriting and collaborating with diverse artists, seeking to discover his unique artistic style and establish a prominent presence in the hip-hop landscape. Through his involvement in rap battles across the United States, Diverze gradually honed his musical identity and found his rightful place in the music industry.

Career
In 2001, at age 19, Diverze embarked on a transformative path to refine his artistic style by assuming ownership of a prominent hip-hop website called, "Freestyle Universe", which was dedicated to promoting the genre and supporting independent artists on their quest for self-expression through music. This venture allowed Diverze to explore and refine his own musical voice while assisting others who shared a similar pursuit of artistic authenticity.

In 2004, Diverze pursued higher education to further cultivate his skills and acquire comprehensive knowledge of the business aspects of the industry. During this period, under the expert guidance of his instructor Mark King, presently acclaimed as the guitarist for the globally renowned rock group Hinder, Diverze not only refined his sound but also gained invaluable insights into effective management strategies within the music industry.

Subsequently, in 2005, Diverze delved into the realm of visual aesthetics in music, lending his expertise to assist artists in creating captivating album covers, banners, posters, and other promotional materials that amplified their visibility and strengthened their brand presence. Collaborating with emcees from diverse locales such as New York City, Baltimore, Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles, Tulsa, and OKC, Diverze skillfully contributed to their artistic endeavors by providing professional design support for their album covers.

In 2007, Diverze assumed the role of a promoter for Tech N9ne, playing a pivotal part in the successful launch of the album "Everready" throughout Oklahoma. Following this, Diverze directed his focus towards honing his songwriting skills and working closely with artists to nurture their talents and propel them towards achieving their artistic goals.

In 2011, Diverze resurfaced on the music scene, unveiling his much-anticipated mixtape titled "The JG Files." He continued to build on this success, culminating in the completion of his second mixtape, "Hitman," in 2012. The latter earned Diverze the distinction of "Best Mixtape" at the esteemed Street Music Awards in Oklahoma, solidifying his reputation as an exceptional talent. Furthermore, Diverze's individual tracks garnered significant recognition on mixtape charts worldwide, securing top positions in Canada, the UK, and Australia.

Following a hiatus in late 2012 to prioritize his family, Diverze made a triumphant return to music in 2019, reuniting with his longtime friend Travis Young, also known as, Infamous OG. Together, they collaborated on the creation of "Savage," a notable track featuring legendary rapper Bubba Sparxxx, which marked Diverze's official comeback. Since then, Diverze has been actively engaging with audiences and garnering attention on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram through his innovative content.

Fast forward to 2023, Infamous OG and Diverze have formed a collective known as The Grey, showcasing a fusion of music from various genres. In April of 2023, The Grey released their inaugural single, "Fuck Around And Find Out," followed by the subsequent release of "Lose It." This dynamic collaboration represents Diverze's continued dedication to pushing musical boundaries and crafting an exceptional body of work that transcends traditional genre constraints.
