MUSIC ICON “DAMIZZA” OFFERS HIS CONTROVERSIAL MEMOIR ABOUT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY FOR FREE


MUSIC ICON “DAMIZZA” OFFERS HIS CONTROVERSIAL MEMOIR ABOUT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY FOR FREE


Guilty By Association” Is The Success And Failures Of One Man’s Music Career


SANTA BARBARA, California (November 23, 2011) -- His name is Damion “Damizza” Young. You may not have heard of him but you may have heard of some careers he launched, such as Eminem & Jay-Z. Or of careers he revived, such as Snoop Dogg & Mariah Carey. After being in the music industry for more than 25 years Damizza is ready to share how his music skills brought artists to life, and how those same skills almost took his own life.

Damizza has worked in nearly every area in music but he is most recognized as a producer for hits such as “Crybaby” and “I Still Believe” by Mariah Carey. He has also produced for other renown artists such as Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, and even Korn! But all this success came with a price. His substance addictions caused his life to spin out of control.

The book is filled with candid stories, one of the most compelling is, how he managed to have Snoop Dogg perform in NY with Jay-Z just three months after Biggie’s death in hopes of squashing the East Coast/West Coast beef. Because of this, Irv Gotti credits Damizza as the person who “built a bridge” in bringing the East and West together. Some of the other intriguing stories are; his time backstage with Michael Jackson in Korea, his conversation with Biggie just hours before the star was shot, and how he single-handedly convinced Snoop and Dre to agree to “The Chronic 2001”.

The book has also led to subsequent legal issues due to a tabloid uproar concerning his romantic relationship with Mariah Carey, which was never his intent. Since then, Mariah has read the chapter that involves her and told Damion that, “she doesn’t have a problem with it.”

When asked why he felt this book was important, Damizza had this to say, “I want people to understand the truth of what they’re getting into when they’re seduced by the excess of this business. I’ve been blessed to be in the room when some of the biggest decisions in music were made, and I believe that it’s my duty to pass these stories along. What means the most for me is to show the human reality of the music business.”

Damizza also announced that he is offering the book free of charge, in order to disprove allegations that he’s doing this for profit. It is co-written by world-renown author J. Marshall Craig and will be available on December 14th through www.DamizzaBook.com

Juno nominated Jus Randy believes, “only the strongest survive is an adage that not only applies to nature, but to artists grinding in the music industry.” Determined to master the battle of adversity in the business, this November Jus Randy will prove to shine lyrically brighter than his fellow music industry competitors. With the debut of “InfoBahn on November 29th, Jus Randy is calling poetic war on his fellow music opponents.
Jus Randy’sInfobahnis a long awaited solo album, since his 7-year departing of Juno nominated groupBrassMunk and officially changing his name to Jus Randy. “InfoBahn” satirically comments on the use of digital communications and how human culture has become personally disconnected with the present and is living in a virtual social media matrix. With the debut double single and video releases of “This Is War,” (http://vimeo.com/31330979) and “Gud Mawning” featuring Ray Robinson, Jus Randy speaks to the hip-hop community and proclaims a rhythmical battle.

With satire sprinkled throughout the songs and skits on the album,Jus Randy is instructing listeners to slow down, sit-up and pay attention to his observations of society.
“InfoBahn represents the basic foundation of hip-hop while containing the intelligent, lyrical content that allows listeners to be part of a journey and experience with me. I have so many experiences from life, so many stories to tell, so much knowledge to spread, so much living to do that it has translated into my musical growth, “says Jus Randy.
On November 28th from 4:00pm to 6:00pm, Jus Randy and GNote Music will host the “InfoBahn” media listening session at Atelier, 510 King Street West, sponsored by Hip Hop Canada, MellyCakes, Homestyle Caribbean Restaurant and Nokia.
Inspired by the meaning and influence of Infobahn: ‘the information superhighway or infobahn was a popular term used through the 1990s to refer to digital communication systems and the internet telecommunications network’. (Wiki, 2011), Jus Randy has finally reemerged.
