-2002-

Not only was WHUTEVA in the midst of great talent, he lived right down the block from Grammy Award winning super-producer Rockwilder, who began assisting WHUTEVA at the beginning of his career, and to this day still one of his musical mentors. "Mardi Gras", one of Rock's banging party anthems landed him a spot on Ice Cube's comedy trilogy, Friday after Next sdtk. at the end of 2002.

WHUTEVA is no stranger to the stage. With the assistance of his crew/fraternity "Hoodlum Fresh", he has rocked many venues like Madison Square Garden, Billboard Live, BET's Soundstage-Orlando, Hard Rock Café, Daddy-O's (in Cancun), as well as many other spots around the U.S. opening for artists such as The Fugees, Mobb Deep, and Ashanti to name a few. WHUTEVA also knows Red and Meth, who has given him the opportunity of rocking the mic with them in concert. WHUTEVA is featured on sites such as MTV News, rapreport.com, allhiphop.com, and several underground radio and video shows.

-1999-

In 1999, WHUTEVA, and childhood buddy JakPott, met Shock G and immediately bonded a close relationship with one of hip hops pioneers. That relationship would grew into an immediate friendship and within weeks JakPott and WHUTEVA were invited to Battery Studios to record what is now a classic tune with the late Big Punisher, which was released on the Digital Underground’s LP titled “Who’s Got the Gravy”.

-1997-

Early in his career, WHUTEVA was apart of a short-lived group of eight from Queens called Derelect Camp. They made a quick but significant buzz back in 1997

with a video on BET, Yo! MTV Raps, and The Box. They were featured

on label mate Red Alert's compilation album which was released on Next

Plateau Records. Besides being an artist WHUTEVA also writes music. He has written songs and hooks for other known rappers. If that's not enough, he has also taken classes in Harlem Theater Company and would like to pursue an acting career when the right time and opportunity presents itself.

THE TURNAROUND-

Just a look at WHUTEVA’s resume gives you an idea of his musical background. One thing many may not know is his love for the Lord Jesus Christ and his strong faith in The Word. WHUTEVA is convinced that his destiny depends on his willingness to spread the Gospel. With a combination of prayer, reading the Word, and lots of experience, he has composed HIGHWAY 2 HEAVEN, the first of several inspirational albums already recorded which targets not only the Christian community but the secular world as well.

WHUTEVA has a calling and a God-given gift to minister to millions in the name of The Lord Jesus Christ, and we believe now is the season for this manifestation to come into the natural.

Desmond Douglas or “WHUTEVA” you may know him as, is very determined, willing and spirit driven to deliver the Truth. The expectations for a gospel artist of this status are long overdue and highly anticipated, and we believe in Jesus’ name, all things are possible and will come to past.

ADDITIONAL:

I enjoy writing music and making tracks daily in my spare time. I have written a few songs for signed artists in the past including Salt from Salt n Pepa. Recently I wrote a couple of songs on a project with Dirt McGirt, formerly known as Ole Dirty Bastard from the Wu-Tang Clan. I also assisted Method Man in making the hook on one song on his latest LP titled: The Prequel.

I have taken acting classes in the past at Harlem Theatre Company and would like to pursue acting more in the future (preferably NYFA in NYC),

I love traveling and learning about different people and their cultures. I have been to Africa, London, Puerto Rico, Mexico, throughout the Carribean, and all around the United States.

Prior to pursuing a carreer in the entertainment field I had a passion for baseball. I received write ups in the Daily News as well as an appearance in Sports Illustrated (8/90). In Military School I was starting varsity baseball, and played second string in varsity basketball and football as a freshman.
