Damion has been singing professionally since the age of twelve. He started out as a young boy singing in his church choir and continued singing gospel music throughout high school. This experience formed the musical foundation upon which he has built. At the University of Northern Colorado, Damion studied voice with Dr. Diane Bolden-Taylor. He worked up his classical chops singing in Men’s Glee and Concert Choir and performing in opera productions such as La Traviata, Madame Butterfly and La Boheme. It was during his time at UNC that Damion discovered his great love of jazz and vocalists like Sarah Vaughn. He worked his way into the elite vocal jazz group, Et Cetera, where he performed extensively and eventually shared the stage with the New York Voices.

As Groove Society’s bass, he lays down a rock solid pocket in which the ensemble can place itself. Whether simulating a walking acoustic bass or a funk electric slap bass, the sound is authentic and the time is impeccable. As a soloist, Damion’s diverse musical experiences and charismatic personality come shining through. His warm, smooth tone wraps itself around listeners, enveloping them in a blanket of sweet, soulful sound.
