About DLO

Welcome All,
I thank you ever so kindly for your interest in "DLO". This road began many moons ago, when as a young child growing up in New York City, realizing he was surrounded by stardom being that his mother was a member of a 50's group called "The Hearts". A group that toured around the globe and enjoyed a nice bit of success before he was born. Even being a feature act at the infamous APOLLO Theater. Then him and his older Brothers birth, put a halt to this young mothers part in the groups career progression. Yet, many talented artist of that era frequented his mothers home, to include "James Brown, Aretha Franklin, his Godmother "Baby" Washington, Mr. Lloyd Price, Edwin Starr..just to name a few. As time would past, he began to realize a talent within himself which allowed him to also do a Apollo talent showcase. During those younger years, his singing voice was one to certainly be reckoned with. During those years the objective was to do "Cover songs" in the likes of Michael Jackson, Donny Osmond, The Sylvers etc., always singing other artists songs. Then one sunny day, someone asked, "Hey have you ever tried to write your own songs?" Mortified, that answer was a DIRECT, "NO" and he received a life changing response, which was "You Should!". Then began a journey, and although the years have taken a tole on his singing voice, he does not try to imply that he is a "Great Singer", He stands in hopes that a good listener would ~Intently "LISTEN", to the lyrics he writes and one day, someone, somewhere would say.."DLO is such a great "Story Teller". I really enjoy his work. That would be the pinnacle!..We thank you kindly, for your time
