Purpose Life – Artist Bio

Name: Dwayne Jay Daughtry
Stage Name: Purpose Life
From: Baltimore, MD
Age: 31

Dwayne Jay Daughtry, known as Purpose Life, isn’t just an artist—he’s a walking paradox: a divine soul in human form. A fallen angel with no memory of the skies he came from, stripped of powers but not purpose. Sent back to this world, raw and real, to redeem himself and awaken others through his gifts. Created by something higher—something beyond comprehension—for reasons not even he fully understands.

His energy is rare. It heals, it shakes, it exposes. Some love it instantly. Some can’t handle it. But no one can deny it. He radiates something eternal. Whether it’s music, dance, design, or presence alone—when Purpose steps into a room, something shifts.

Born and raised in Baltimore, MD, he was first known as DJ Purp—a legendary Baltimore Club dancer, producer, and promoter whose performances were both art and explosion. He moved crowds not just with moves but with vibe. A lit presence, unforgettable. But life had its shadows. In 2020, caught in the weight of past choices, Purpose was sentenced to 4 years in prison. He served 3 and walked free on March 28, 2025.

What was meant to break him became his rebirth. Locked behind bars, he discovered the deeper calling: music as a mission, pain as a message, and healing as a gift. He’s not here to just entertain—he’s here to wake people up.

Purpose Life is perfectionist by nature, not ego. Every word, every melody, every move is laced with passion. There’s something divine behind his attention to detail—like he’s trying to rebuild heaven one verse at a time. And still, he walks humble. Meek. Genuine to the bone. That duality is why people either fall in love with him—or fear the mirror he becomes.

A ladies’ man with a soul that reads between the lines, he speaks with charm but also wisdom. He teaches love—how to honor it when it’s real and leave it when it poisons you. A fresh Casanova, smooth with depth, unafraid to be toxic to the toxic.

Upcoming Album

“It’s Ok, That I’m Not Okay” – coming soon
This debut album is the soul of Purpose laid bare. A deep dive into emotions most are too afraid to speak on. It’s not just a project—it’s a transmission. A message from a place beyond pain and back into power. The world is finally ready.

Clothing Line

United Diversity – Street Luxury Wear
A brand for men, women, children, and pets—Purpose’s fashion line blends culture, luxury, and message. Streetwear with a spiritual core. United Diversity is about unity through difference. Style that speaks louder than words.

Signature Quotes:
“Even if people say they’re not judging you… they’re lying.”
“Walk in the place as if I’m the king… or as if I could give a fuck who the king is.”

Purpose Life is not trying to be famous. He’s reclaiming the recognition he was born for. The world is just beginning to realize what he already knows: he’s not one of them—he’s one of one.
