If you were to pick one artist from Minneapolis, Minnesota, it is our hope that you will listen to DEIZEL. Born and raised on the Southside of Minneapolis, he began his exploration of music around the age of 2. DEIZEL comes from a long line of musicians stemming from his father’s bloodline, so in the spirit of teaching, his father, (Musician & Chef) Frederick Donald Allen Jr., started showing his son the basics of playing drums, by purchasing him his own “Fraggle Rock” drum set, that was bought for him for his birthday. At the age of 17, DEIZEL faced one of the most challenging experiences in his life when his father passed away from the devastating disease A.I.D.S., and from that point on in his life, it has become DEIZEL’S mission to set up a foundation honoring his father’s memory, to help those with the disease, to help inner city children with learning music and learning how to cook.
If you were to ever check out a performance of DEIZEL’S, you will see and feel the passion that he has for making music, the hard work that he puts into every show, and the hard work he puts into perfecting his style and craft. Take a listen to the beats that he picks for his albums, all perfection by some of the top producers in the industry and even unknown producers, giving the beat a quality of lyrics and delivery that can definitely be considered standard amongst the elite and mainstream. Also known as “The Neighborhood Rappaman”, DEIZEL collaborates well with other artists, and soon will be seen and heard in households worldwide.
