D-MAUB
Donny "D-MAUB" Harper is Dedicated to Making All Underestimaters
Believers......it's what his name stands for. Like most thrown onto to the platform of
ministering the word of God, this young man has seen his share of trials and
tribulations. When his childhood friend, Robert "Lazarus" Smith pulled him aside and
introduced him to Christ, Donny took the role full on. Tragically losing his mother in
1997, D-MAUB finally saw that there was more to life than what he had been doing.
He accepted the invitation and started turning a skill he has always possessed to glorify
God and spread his awesome testimony of coming through tough struggles. He wants
people to know that we can have fun and draw men to Christ through his lyrics and beats.
But most of all he desires to draw all to Christ. He's also known as the #1
YOUNG "CUT-T", which stands for Courageously Upholding The Truth.
When D-MAUB talks, people listen, they relate, they think and things change!!
D-MAUB has had the pleasure of ministering alongside national recording artists
Nicole C. Mullen, Bootsy Collins, k-Drama, Karen Clark and Kierra Sheard, Electric
Church, Mars Ill, Da’ T.R.U.T.H., E.Cross, and Tye Tribbett and G.A.. He also has
submitted his voice to local commercials such as Deveroes clothing store. He
participated in the Queen City Fusion BET/Soundstage in 2004. D-MAUB has appeared
on the Sony Playstation 2 games Grand Turismo 4, NBA Jam, ATV 3 and MLB 2005.
Another piece of the vision came together in 2005 when Donny branched out and
began his own label, One Route Entertainment. He and a group of dedicated friends
have big things in store that include music, clothing and educational platforms.
One Route Entertainment has been making strategic moves to achieve goals, most
recently attending the 2008 Holy Hip Hop Awards and Artist Showcase in Atlanta,
Georgia. D-MAUB is featured on the Holy Hip Hop :Takin’ The Gospel To The Streets
