Description

Deon Robertson was born on May 8th 1986 in Oklahoma City.
Born into a family with an absent father, his mother felt she had short handed her son but, little did she know what he would grow up to be.
His mother (Annette) was a singer in gospel ministry in a family group called the heavenly angles which later became Becky and the friends. They shared the stage with artist such as K-C and Jo Jo, The Truthettes, and Luther Barns to name a few.
Deon's grandmother (Jeanette) was apart of a group known as The Fantastic Golden Aires. They shared the stage with the Five Blind Boys of Alabama, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, Willie Lee Neil Johnson, and The Jackson Southern Aires. The Williams Brothers even wanted to take The Golden Aires on as their group but, they had families to raise. So as you can see Deon was born into a musically inclined family. He was destined to sing. Deon first showed his love for music when he was three years old. When he would eat he would hum and kick his feet. As Deon grew older his interest in music began to grow. He began to study different styles of music like jazz and blues. Deon was shy and quite but, sang all the time. No one could shut him up. When he turned thirteen he and his family joined a church name Holy United where Deon got saved and joined the choir. Here he was able to nurture his gift. Deon became one of the lead singers in the church. People loved his smooth voice. (A fan once said). Deon began to take music classes at his school where his GPA was 4.0. His music teacher was amazed at his ability to control his voice at such a young age. Although Deon is a tenor his range allowed him to sing alto and soprano. His music teacher says he is one of the most gifted singers she ever heard. When Deon was fourteen he was asked to sing soprano with his grandmother and aunt in the Golden Aires for almost a year. One day Deon was fifteen he decided to take his music to another level. He started dinging for good. Deon always made it clear he wanted to be a recording artist. So he decided to right a song. He wrote his first song on March 16th, 2003 and then, recorded it in May of 2003. A management company by the name of Untapped Records founded Deon. They put out his first single called "Wonderful". The single sold over 1200 copies in Oklahoma and surrounding areas. Wonderful got heavy radio play on 1220 am and 1140 gospel stations. Deon has performed every where from schools, to nursing homes, to banquettes and especially churches. Now Deon is ready to release his self titled album "Deon" on February 26th 2005.
