His self-titled CD project: 'Jesuguru 06' was heard across the pond and found its many to many with awesome (unforeseen) online sales in step with today's trend.

mentions as in the November 2004 Edition of "Ebony" Mag (Cover: Jamie Foxx) and as well on BlackGospelpromo.com. 
One of Douglas' strengths is lyrical content, and as you listen closely - will hear a life lesson or two - well placed and well sung.

~ Truly.... Music with meaning and a message ~

Douglas L. Hills' style is... easy yet jazzy - stretching from Contemporary Christian, to Hip-Hop/R&B influences and (again) jazz with thoughtful, catchy, and colorful lyrical content. Checkout his 'newly' leaked tune on one official fan page: www.Reverbnation.com/jesuguru track entitled: "EXTRAORDINARY" -- as well as past hit singles like: 
"I'LL BLESS THEE" - also - 
"I FEEL IT NOW" 
* 
These singles are dynamically different, yet genuine & poignant; driving home a strong message of faith in God. 
The artist is quoted as saying, 
"I'm God-raised and don't know where I'd be without my Father to guide me! I always pray He just keeps His hand on me - as I hold fast to Him!" 
* 
Shortly after the cd's release, Douglas also contributed to and participated in the Sarasota, FL (2004 'Gospel Awards' fighting Cancer) - not even a year after losing his own mother to Cancer. Again, sharing his faith & trust in God!

Using his own words, Douglas desires to
