For Memphis Cedric Davis also known by his stage name of Deon Perignon growing up as the child of a single mother was not easy being that he grew up in one of the roughess neighborhoods in Memphis and this is where he began singing as a lad., He sang so much until his mother use to get mad and so did his brother and sisters. They didnt get mad because he sang; they got mad because he didnt stop. Cedric realized he was gifted at the age of 9, but didnt perform until his 7th grade year at Humes Jr. High. Cedric was asked by the student council teacher to participate in a Christmas program where he was to perform Silent Night by the late great Temptations. Cedric did so well he had become one of the most popular kids in school.
Cedric Davis describes his own music as signifying deep meaning. Cedric Davis music is about stories. Some of those stories can be meaningful and very deep rooted in pain from some of the things he has experienced growing up. I never choose a song that cant relate to in some way, shape, or form. My music will always reflect who I am.
When asked about his first experience in a Memphis studio, Cedric responded, My producer was amazed at how well I did in the studio the first time and other people in the studio couldnt believe I had never been into the studio prior to this experience. It is Cedric hope that his music will provide a new means for him to give back to his community. Says, he wants to give back to other causes close to his heart including domestic violence, especially violence against women.
Cedric voice is rather unique and soulful and his studio performance required little to no tuning. That doesnt mean that Cedric doesnt seek constant improvement and constructive criticism in all areas. You can be a performer and not be an artist, but I am an artist. I have spent time studying and researching everything I can about the music industry and becoming an artist. I not only continue to hone my songwriting skills, but I also continue to critique my total package including my image and my stage presence, because this isnt just a dream of mine, this is a goal that I am determined to achieve and I wont give up. Cedric takes and applies all the advice he has received from the Memphis music industry professionals he has works with and who serve as mentors to him.
