Hailing from the DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia) area, Desmond Walker a.k.a. DEZ the Prez, has been involved in music since childhood. Born in Columbia, MD, he began singing in the choir at his Baltimore, MD based church at the age of 7. His musical and performing interests just grew from there. Singing in chorales and performing in plays all the way through High School. This is also where he began writing his own music. Halfway through his high school career, his family moved to Bowie, MD (just outside of Washington, DC), where he immediately became very involved in the schools music scene by leading the Gospel Choir and starring in and producing several school shows including a Motown Review. Upon graduation from high school, he attended Howard University for Marketing because he decided that he wanted to pursue the business side of music. The stage never stopped calling his name. While in school he joined a traveling/recording group, NuMobb, where he was a featured soloist.
Shortly after this time he moved to New York City and began to musically flourish and attained mentorship from seasoned producers and writers.

Staying in line with his business hustle he interned for BMG Music Group as well as The Britto Agency PR Firm, where he even developed events for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. DEZ retuned home after a couple years and has worked with local artists on their creative and business endeavors. From that experience he was then inspired to create his own project. He honed his production skills and created the album “Gainfully Employed, Vol.I” in 2010. In 2011, he created an artist collective and production company called “The Cabinet” under the DJW International, LLC umbrella. His music has been performed for thousands of people and his company has nurtured many artists.
In 2012 he transitioned into radio, where he has helped to transform the DMV music scene.
