Details:
Dee Muldrow aka "D. Mawl" was born Daniel Muldrow in Youngstown, OH. At age 5, D.Mawlâs parents took their young son and daughter to Cincinnati, OH where this member of the âHip-Hop Generationâ would be musically influenced by an era of positive, politically motivated artists like Marvin Gaye, Rakim, Nas, Talib Kweli,D'Angelo and artists who, like D.Mawl himself, consider themselves industry rebels with important causes.

D.Mawl is known for his on-edge lyrics laced with folk sentiment. A lyrical genius since adolescences, he considers himself the common man's champion and uses his voice to combat the current oppressive economic system and its creation of the American Ghetto. In his upcoming album, D.Mawl shows this warrior-like spirit in songs like âTake you There.â

D.Mawl used his athletic ability on the football field to open doors on college campuses and ultimately accepted a student athlete scholarship to Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, KY. There, he linked up with group of up and coming artists known as The Nappy Roots. At the time, the group was at the forefront of Deep Rooted Productions (DRP) in Bowling Green, KY.

D.Mawl collaborated with the now Grammy nominated, internationally known, Nappy Roots and was featured on the underground albums, "No Comb, No Brush, No Fade, No Perm" and the Deep Rooted Compilation I&II. He also connected with DRP's R&B group, Klientel, co-writing songs for the 1999 debut, Hoping It Pays.

DRP's dissolution inspired the development of Soul LinQ Productions, of which D.Mawl is a writer and artist. D.Mawl co-wrote and was the featured artist on Klientelâs 2005 release âDaily Trade.â Carlis Phillips, (C.P.) R&B/Soul Solo Vocalist, Adrianne Archie, a rising gospel talent, Cordaco, producer and Joel Goodwin, producer and pianist extraordinaire, comprise the rock solid foundation of Soul LinQ Productions.

D.Mawlâs sophomore project âEternal Grindâ (2007 release) continues to buzz through out the Midwest. He is gaining a lot of respect as a true lyricist. Listeners and industry insiders a like say his music is full of creative content and has the potential for mass appeal. D.Mawlâs highly anticipated debut album âThe Lost 16â is scheduled for release 1st quater 2008 and will definitely be worth the wait. D.Mawlâs commitment to present day causes and social ills are paired with a respect of the same legendary artists who inspired him to create a sound that is fresh, flavorful, and utterly necessary.
