Experimenting with his voice at an early age, Des-C was inspired by legendary Punjabi Vocalists such as Gurdass Maan, Yamla Jatt and Kuldip Manak. Born and bred in Luton UK, this raw talent was noticed by relatives who encouraged him to sing at family gatherings.
// 2002 //
He joined DDR Roadshow [www.ddrroadshow.com] as a DJ and went on to lead Boliyan Sessions at weddings and other functions. After working on self produced demos in his bedroom, Des-C endeavoured to send demos to record companies. Receiving little recognition, he started work with up-and-coming emcee, Raxstar, who had previously collaborated with Mentor. Their demo found it?s way into Mentor?s hands who was drawn to Des-C?s authentic, raw Punjabi vocal.
// 2004 //
Since forming part of the Mentor Kolektiv, Des-C has been working hard in the studio on ?Mixtape Vol 1?. He had to make the bigst decision of his life![quit his education or continue singing?] CONTINUE SINGING!!![REALI BAD]. His lyrics are inspired by stories and situations that occur in love and life, often focussing on social and historical issues.
// 2005 //
Collaborations started cuming in from da main stream drawn to des-c's voice. JON B, DAVID BANNER, NAILA BOSS... Mentor Kolektiv album [broke] was released through 2POINT9 internationally. Da kolektiv's track 'pasand' gave him a profile for some one to look out for in the near future and to be taken as a serious vocalist. He now is determined to make his mark in this industry.
