Shining the Spotlight on our very own Superstar!

December 1, 2017 by Meghan Sylvester

At D&S, we are lucky to work with some amazing individuals. Today, we are taking time out to shine the spotlight on one of our very own superstars. Dameion (D-Boy Dynasty) began dabbling in Christian rap in 1995 and sings at Cross Roads Church the first Sunday of each month at the morning service.  His favorite scripture is John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”.

When he is not creating music with his friends, Dameion referees basketball and football and recently traveled to Austin to talk to legislators about not cutting funding for the services he receives.

While he admits to loving sweet tea, Dameion likes to eats healthy, especially salads and fruits.

He invites everyone to visit Cross Road Christian Church in Grand Prairie…and, if you time it just right, you may be able to see D-Boy Dynasty in action!

Three cheers to Dameion!!
