Christou DaKeeng is a very large talent that comes from very small beginnings. Born, Cedric Dennis, Christou was delivered in Aiken Regional Hospital on the twenty-ninth night of July, 1987. He was raised by single mother, Cynthia Dennis and aunt, Phyllis Dennis, in a modest home located in the small town of Monetta, South Carolina, where he had an early start in music. At age 3, Cedric showed the courage to sing and lead gospel songs in front of a sizeable church audience. This early exposure allowed for many in and out his community to admire his ability to sway a crowd using the soft touch of his tender voice. Childhood for Christou included a stream of various journeys into avenues of academics, art & entertainment. His talent for drawing spawned at 7 years of age, and his first venture into band activities started in the 6th grade. The first experience of Christou recording a song in a garage-studio, was when he turned 12. His interest of writing poetry transformed into a love for crafting music with the stroke of a pen. His admiration for music grew throughout his childhood as he admired singing artists such as Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Lauryn Hill, & Boys II Men, as well as, rap artists such as Ludacris, Outcast, LL Cool J, Biggie Smalls, Jay Z and T.I. As he attended college at Lander University, Christou became known throughout campus for his musical abilities where he first studied under the major of Music with an emphasis of Voice Education & Training. After his second year of school, he switched to Mass Communications, but then dropped out and had to choose a different path and re-calibrate his direction. Not too long after, his blessing-in-disguise was his availability to pursue a career in music after meeting Brandon Howell and Kwome “Swiv” Heyward who partnered to start F.A.M.I.S.H.E.D. Entertainment. He was introduced by his uncle and then acting manager, English “E-Side” Dennis. This avenue allowed for his growth and experience performing throughout South Carolina and Georgia with music that created exposure with little promotional tactics needed. Christou began to develop many professional relationships on the music scene with many dj’s, artists and personalities throughout the Southeast such as, Charalmagne Da God, VA tha Boss Chick, VJ LordJazz, Collard Green, Lil Ru, The Legendary DJ Prince Ice, DJ Aaries of HoodHard DJs, DJ B-Lord, Big Ish, and many others, ultimately landing his first radio hit feature with Pure Pain/SKC artist Kenny Kane. Their song “Fly Away” gained wide attention throughout the southeast and the US, but never reached a chart placing status. Since that success, DaKeeng, pushed to reach a higher staple in the music industry, and has dropped 2 mixtapes (GameCocky, Open Book), 1 street album (Quiet Storm), and a recent album. Next Chapter is the first album Christou DaKeeng has produced and is the second music project released under his music & publishing company, Omni Empire. Christou, met his, then girlfriend & model, Jelisa Jackson, and in 2014, they started Omni Empire together. Their company allowed for both of them to act in their professions and develop other entities along the way. Not only did Christou pursue his music career creatively, he began to maintain the business elements of it like, graphic design, web building, booking, contracting, business proposals, and marketing. The elements he used for himself as an artist, was applied to other businesses and artists to help grow their awareness, promotional needs and marketing efforts. From a small background, Christou DaKeeng, is growing on a large scale and very quickly. His music magnetizes and soothes his artist, and his fans become loyal in almost a cult-like manner. You could compare his versatility to that of Beyonce, Prince, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Bruno Mars, Rihanna, and such major artists of that caliber and ability. You can see proof of that with his April 20th release of Next Chapter. Long live DaKeeng!
