CLEVELAND'S FIRST PLATINUM M.C.



Brainz Davis (born James DeShannon Davis) was born in Cleveland, Ohio on May 24th. Born with a love for music and a talent for performing; Brainz grew up knowing he wanted to be an M.C. He performed anywhere and for anyone who wanted to listen to him; but Brainz had to face a few life struggles to get there. After the loss of his brother and stepfather; Brainz, by the age of 13, had found his comfort in the streets. He was gangbanging, drug dealing and losing friends left and right. He was saved just in the nick of time.



It was 1991 and everything changed overnight for Brainz. A friend called Brainz to let him know that Michael Bivins (of New Edition fame) and his entourage were dining at a local restaurant. Brainz woke up mama and they were off to Denny’s to take a leap of faith. After mama’s quick introduction to Biv, Brainz was free styling in the parking lot of the Denny’s, the next month he was on a plane to L.A. As Brainz puts it; it was just like the movie Trading Places. He was on the Sunset Strip donning new clothes, meeting beautiful women and riding in luxury cars. He was part of Michael Bivins Biv 10; and now James DeShannon Davis is MC Brains.



MC Brain’s 1st major performance was at The Apollo in 1992. He was added to the roster with Boyz II Men and ABC at the very last minute. His single had not yet been released. He gets on the stage and performs “Oochie Coochie” and gets a standing ovation. After that astounding performance, Motown Records calls and they want his album completed in 30 days. In 1992, MC Brains 1st CD release entitled Lovers Lane on Biv10/Motown went gold and his 1st single “Oochie Coochie” went platinum. According to Soundscan, Brains sold 825,000 units in the U.S. and an estimated 100,000 units overseas. He performed at the American Music Awards, and Dick Clarks’ New Years Rocking Eve and was touring around all over the world. He presented at the Soul Train Music Awards and hosted Yo! MTV Raps. MC Brains graced the covers of many urban music publications; including Black Beat and Word Up! Magazines. The women fell in love with his sex appeal and now everybody’s talking about MC Brains.



In 1996, he released his 2nd album entitled “Brainwashed” on Ichiban Records; an Indie-label out of the south. Since he was the 1st rap artist from Cleveland to be signed to a major deal; Brainz was still receiving accolades from the locals in Cleveland.



Now in 2009 Brainz Davis, with a slightly different name, is produced entirely by Thr3efourteen of Mega Beat International. “This is my hottest release yet and I am grateful for all of my experience with the Biv 10/Motown family”, Brainz said. Brainz has since landed a major role in a major film entitled “Tune Up”, with production starting June 2009.
