D. BankSS

Born in Grand Rapids,Michigan I started singing at an early age always listening to R&B,HipHop,Funk and a little bit of Jazz

music. I new I had a gift whenever I sang to one of my lady friends they let me know that its all good since grade school and since singing on street corners back home. I think with my voice I can sing the panties off of a sweet lady that catches my eye. lol. Ive done it before,

trust me girls im a pro at this. Growin up in G.Rap,Michigan in the 90's was tough because there was no kind of music scene in my town & my brother T.Banks&Cuzz T.Redic taught me well about that. Me and my brothers decided to put a group together, do some shows,hit the studio& go get a piece of that big apple in New York.We took a big bite out of the apple but had to spit that shit out. We had labels wanting to sign us but just like any other R&B groups with out a good manager not believe'n in your dream you have a slim chance. But, that did not stop my group PeaceofMind/DT from grindin.We had major deal contracts on the floor waitin to be worked out and my group was ready to make history but the manager didnt think the labels that was tryin to sign us was the right deal for us so we called the labels back and passed them up on their offers. As time goes by and things start to pop up at the crib in G.Rap,Michigan the manager & the Group decided to go back home for a week and come back to New York to get back started on our dream.Well it didnt go as we plan'd.It took like 2- 3 weeks for our manager to send for us to get back to New York and start working again. The only problem with that is he only wanted 2 of the group members to come back,he says all he needs now is 2 of us to get it started for the group.HmmmmNow anybody who knows me ,knows that I'm a thinker to the core .some times I believe I think about things to much but fuck it thats me.I mean come on thats like taken Eddie Kendricks high voice away from the TEMPTATIONSThats like taken Melvin's bass voice away from the Temptations too so tell me what the fuck am I suppose to do now. So, its just me and my bro J. Banks thuggin it at the crib in G.Rapids,MI tryin to think

of a master plan & keep our dream alive. Well my bro J. Banks decieded to say fuck the world and everything in it & started wild'n out so much i had to hold him down everyday, LIKE I SHOULDThe bitch ass Police in G.Rap was on his ass everyday and i had to talk him out of gettin locked up. It was starting to be too much on me yall,with the music, my brotha,livin in G.Rap and what do you know here comes this BitCH tryin to say im the babies father of her childDAMMM.imma just call that ugly BitCH Billy Jean 4 now(wasn't my baby) . I told Billy Jean that im not a supa star yet so I can give you a few bucks here and there but its too much goin on with me right now and you might wake up 1 day and imma be in California doin my music thizzle. While im still cuttin songs on myself and holding down my bro,I need to start make'n money fast so when I do get ready for the big city i wont be broke.So i started robbin niggas for they shitt &workin a job to keep money flowinn. I cashed in half of my earnings and bought myself a Roland drum machineI thought I couldnt be stopped now.lolbut like they say what goes around comes right back around again.I GOT ROBBED .for the only thing I had to keep myself from goin crazy and killin a nigga.lol.My Roland beat machine was goneNow tell me what the Fuck am I suppose to doI'm feelin I'm at my lowest point in my life right now.Dammm and what do you know.1 of the members run into Missy Elliott on the streets of New York and signs a solo deal with her. He's my nigga so I always knew he would come back around to his real niggas after the hype calms downbut BankSS is not a quitter nor a hater so I stay focused on nuthin but music, fuck everything. I'm mobbin up thru the hood on my nice mountain bike that I jack'd and look who I run into2 niggas I know from back in the day&school. They came up to me wanting to start a R&B group as me as the lead singer.hmmmI'm like man fuck a group hommie.so they kept askin until I gave in1 of the group members had a plan to get some good songs together and take a trip out to CALIFORNIAIm like hmmm .fuck it I'm down cause I had that in mind all along. He tells me he has a connections out there with a signed artist/songwriter by the name of Ericka Yancey and she is from the home town. I'm like. ok when can I meet her so I can sang her socks off.Just socks yall not Panties. yetlolShe hears me sing and is impressed & ask when are we comin out to Cali.Cool.I said we'll be out there ASAP.
