Detroit’s family is like the Jacksons without all the drama. They are a New Orleans family that is deeply rooted in music. In fact, Detroit’s father, Detroit Sr., is the lead guitarist for New Orleans music legend Irma Thomas, Charmaine Neville and has accompanied other greats such as Wynton Marsalis and Grammy award winner Allen Toussaint. Music is Detroit’s heartbeat; his way of life. Growing up in the 9th ward section of New Orleans, Detroit began showcasing his talents as a member of the church choir and performing in local talent shows. Described as smooth but street, gentlemanly but gangsta, Detroit’s genuine sound pushes him past the pack. In 2008, Detroit created a buzz when he was featured on a track with recording artist C-Murder titled “Be Fresh” which was released on Asylum Records. The single received heavy airplay throughout the south and internet satellite radios. The song created a buzz for Detroit and on July 24, 2009, he released his first studio album titled “Doin Me.” An album release party for “Doin Me” was held at the New Orleans House of Blues, featuring a live performance by Atlantic Recording artist Pleasure P. Two singles titled “Wish the Best for You” and “Do You” were released off the project. Both singles were played in 6 different markets and even hit Top 8 Countdowns on mix shows. In 2010, while doing shows on the road, Detroit reunites with old friend, Gudda Gudda of Young Money Entertainment. They went into the studio and collaborated to bring you “In The Club.” The single is picking up heavy airplay throughout the southern region. The hi-tempo groove has an infectious melody and equally banging track that invites listeners to get up and move. He recently dropped a new track titled “What It Do” off his latest digital release “Nite Life Da Mix Tape”, which was released on New Year’s Eve free to all fans. The video for “What It Do” is currently on YouTube and it has received 5 stars. To date, he has opened for Anthony Hamilton, Carl Thomas, Bobby Valentino, Please P., The Dream, Monica, Slim of 112 and Lil Wayne’s Young Money Camp. He has also performed during the 2009-2010 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Detroit is more than just a great singer: he writes and arranges all of his music. He is also partners in the music production company, II Deep Muzic, llc. The company has an impressive production list featuring notable artists such as Young Buck, Akon, Juvenile, C-Murder, 50 Cent and Young Money. Detroit’s motto is to never stop grinding because there is always someone fighting for a spot in the music business. He has created and performed with his own live band and is ready to bring something different to his fans in 2011, Live and Unplugged.
