Everyone has story to tell and some are better at telling it than others. 

D'MAR’s story says that he is standing between two worlds where the gap grows by the day and D’MAR is in the epicenter.  Better yet, D’MAR is the epicenter.  From the center of who he is D’MAR is in the company of music Rock and Roll legend Little Richard as the lead drummer of the Little Richard band and he lives in the state that is home of the Blues:  Mississippi.  He has worked with some of the most recognizable names such as Dorothy Moore, Bobby Rush, Vastie Jackson, Ali Woodson (The Temptations), Big Jack Johnson, Billy Preston, Roy Gaines, and of course Little Richard (current) to name a few.

  His career started when most of us were still playing with skateboards and riding Big Wheels.  From the moment he beat on his mother’s couch at the age of 5 to the present, D’MAR has done what he loves to do:  perform and play the drums.  It was natural for him to be “All-City Band”, first chair in the percussion section and section leader before he was an upper class man in high school.  What’s more amazing is after working at a local record store for a couple of months while in college, he decided to fulfill a childhood dream and goal: he’d play drums for a living and work for himself.  As it would happen, D’MAR was given an opportunity to audition for the living legend, Little Richard in which he got the drummer spot in the band!  Within three years, he was the lead drummer and the youngest member of the Little Richard band.  Even though he was young and surrounded by the fame and fortune, the lifestyle he lived wasn’t one of great jet setting.  He took the time to learn the craft from one of the founding fathers of Rock and Roll.  He began to develop his Berry Gordy business acumen and learned to identify business opportunities which led him to open several businesses which are still active today. 

15 years later, D’MAR has traveled globally, entertained amongst the hottest stars and put together one of the few viable and growing independent record labels coming out of the south, Airtight Productions, Inc.  No “one” genre can be associated with D’MAR’s company and Airtight Productions, Inc. is putting REAL music on the map in a big way!  Not only is D’MAR in the business of producing, being an artist and musician, he recently landed a role in the movie Chess: Who do You Love?  In the movie he plays Muddy Waters’ drummer, “Elgin Evans”, which is in select theaters now.  Despite his full schedule and full life, D’MAR gives back to his community through volunteering with the youth by partnering with a local marketing firm. He has also created an artist roster music education program in which he performs for schools throughout his home State and the surrounding areas and his program is going into its fifth year. 

Do not be fooled! This is no jack of all trades more over this is a master of his craft:  The craft of knowing who he is and where he’s going with his businesses, his career and his future
