Band Members/Accomplices

Desmond {Drums}
Desert Sun, also known as D-Major is letting it all go these days. His love for music, began as a child hearing his grandmother sing around the house and early remembrances of Bob Marley and r&b soul classics. But it wouldn’t be until adulthood that the rhythm would catch him. A student of Babatunde Olatunji’s best students he gravitated to the djembe and hit the subways. It was only after linking up with Rain, and feeling the collaboration did he decide to play the drum kit. Now armed with an arsenal of sticks and poems D-Major is coming above ground to shine like his bandmates.
