ITS BEEN A LONG ROAD FOR DEGA. HE IS VERY CREATIVE AND
STARTED OUT NOT WITH MUSIC, BUT WITH ART. HE LEARNED TO
FIRST EXPRESS HIMSELF DRAWING, IN CHURCH OF ALL PLACES.
THE HIP HOP BUG BIT HIM SEVERAL TIMES, THE FIRST BEING IN
LANGSTON UNIVERSITY AND HEARING ERIC B AND RAKIM 'ERIC
B FOR PRESIDENT' AND 'CHECK OUT MY MELODY' PLAY. SOON
THERE AFTER, HE USED TO WATCH SOME OF HIS CLASS MATES
STAND AROUND AND BEAT BOX AND RHYME. SHORTLY THERE
AFTER, HE WROTE HIS FIRST RHYME. THERE WAS A SHORT LIVED
STINT IN A GROUP THAT FORMED IN HIGH SCHOOL FOR TALENT
SHOW PURPOSES, BUT HE , NOW GOING BY THE STAGE NAME OF
SIR MIKEY, OR S-MIKE AND MELLOW (TINK AT THE TIME) KNEW
THEY HAD THE TALENT TO MAKE IT. HE STARTED CREATING BEATS
FROM SCRATCH WHILE WORKING AT EXECUTIVE SOUND
STUDIOS UNDER GERALD MITCHELL, WHERE HE LEARNED THE
MAJORITY OF THE ASPECTS OF THE BUSINESS, SUCH AS
PROMOTION, PRE AND POST PRODUCTION, MARKETING, AND SO
ON. UPON GOING THEIR SEPARATE WAYS, DEGA HAD STRUCK
OUT ON HIS OWN, GETTING BACK WITH MELLOW OFF AND ON.
AROUND THIS TIME IS WHEN HE CREATED THE PRODUCTION
COMPANY BEAST MODE DIGITAL SOUND, WHICH WAS A
MUSICAL EXTENSION OF HIMSELF. HE ADDED B.M.G. ON AND DJ
IMAGE TO ASSIST IN COMING UP WITH THE BEATS YOU HEAR
TODAY. THEY PUT OUT THE FIRST STUDIO CD UNDER THE MADD
WAXZ LABEL 'TORNADO ALLEY SERIES vol 1' WITH DEGA GOING
UNDER THE STAGE NAME 'MEKKADON'. HE PERFORMED
TORNADO ALLEY SERIES vol 1 IN CHICAGO WITH VERY LITTLE
FAN FARE. NOT TO BE DETERRED HE AND BEAST MODE KEPT
PUSHING FORWARD, CREATING AND DOING SHOWS. HE HAS
SINCE STARTED A GRAPHIC DESIGN BRANCH 'TRIPLE THREAT
GRAPHIX' WHERE ALL THE DESIGNS FOR T SHIRTS ARE CREATED.
HE HAS ALSO ADDED SCREEN PLAYS AND SCRIPTS UNDER THE
MOVING PICTURE/DYING ART PRODUCTION ARM OF THE
COMPANY. HE AND MELLOW HOOKED UP AGAIN TO PERFORM AT
CLUB BORA BORA WHERE THEY WERE RECEIVED WITH
THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE. HE HAS SINCE PERFORMED SOLO AND
IS WORKING ON PUTTING OUT THE MUCH ANTICIPATED
MIXTAPE 'WELCOME TO BEAST MODE' AND HIS SECOND STUDIO
PROJECT 'ICHIBAN' HE IS STILL FULL OF GRIND ABOUT TO FILM
THE SHORT FILM 'SMILE AT THE JOKER' WHERE HE AND HIS
BROTHER CLARENCE 'DREAM BIG' MILLER WILL 100% SHOOT,
PRODUCE AND CREATE THE SOUNDTRACK. IF YOU ASK HIM, HE
WILL TELL YOU ONLY ONE THING, AND THATS WHAT SENSEI SAYS,
"GET MONEY"
