The Doug Means Project - DMP - is a funky blend of rock, reggae
and hip-hop. Back in the day(about a year and a half ago)...
a small but highly trained crew assembled together to rid
the world of weak music and to create a more harmonious environment
for the people. But evil and insidious forces gathered together
to fight against them - and the battle rages on...
With some of today's music being more about the gimmick and
less about the talent, the Doug Means Project offers real
music that is authentic and organic. Through the lyrics exuding
the ups and downs of life, Doug believes the content will
help people live their lives better. Influenced by reggae,
gospel, R&B, punk, rock, metal, funk, hip hop and dancehall,
the lyrics are tight and the melodies are raw.
DMP has performed throughout the Southern California area
at venues like: Blue Café in Long Beach, the Derby
in Los Angeles, the House of Blues and Shark Club in Orange
County, and many others…
Individual members of DMP have been around the world and across
the country with various recording / touring artists such
as: Eek A Mouse, HR of Bad Brains, Dave Wakeling of the English
Beat, Michael Rose of Black Uhuru, and others…
DMP has just finished recording, mixing and mastering of their
first full-length CD and has a strong presence on the internet,
with their website and myspace page being viewed daily by
hundreds of the uninitiated.
