dEnAuN

There comes a time in every man’s life where he has to take a new leap of faith, one that epitomizes the ultimate high wire act, eagerly inching across the tightrope to enter into the great “beyond”; beyond the familiar, limitations, timidity, uncertainties or a certain level of assurance and success. That great “beyond” is a world filled with infinite musical possibilities, complete with a blank canvas with which an artist can create his own destiny, without rules, coloring outside the lines if he so desires. The stage has been set and the time is now for the world to experience the evolution of Mr. Porter aka dEnAuN. Laying to rest his former alter ego, Kon Artis, -the emcee formerly associated with Shady Record’s multi-platinum selling Hip Hop group, D12- dEnAuN emerges with a new found artistic identity, sound and message; one that encompasses all that he is: a visionary, leader, creator, motivator, innovator, underdog and musical mastermind. An enterprise within himself, dEnAuN is also known as the extraordinary, Grammy Award winning producer “Mr. Porter”, who gained immense popularity with the releases of G-Unit’s “Stunt 101, Xzibit’s “Multiply” and other notable tracks. The success of these singles earned him several accolades and increased the demand for his production. His sound continues to evolve and he often finds himself creating in studios around the world working with a plethora of artists ranging from Jay Electronica to Swizz Beatz and Sting. Mr. Porter’s revolutionary sound can be heard woven through an impressive discography of songs produced for many Who’s Who in Hip Hop including Eminem, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, Game, Snoop Dogg, Pharoahe Monch, Slaughterhouse and many others. His credits can also be found on Burt Bacharach’s “Please Explain” and on the Beyonce & Shakira duet “Beautiful Liar”. As a result, he has successfully contributed to nearly 30 million records sold, combined. He also co-executive produced the RIAA certified Gold album, Bad Meets Evil, “Hell : The Sequel” and Executive Produced Royce Da 5’9’s 2016, “Layers” album, which debuted #1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip Hop albums chart. Further demonstrating his writing skills and surprising vocal range, Porter can often be heard singing soulful hooks on several works including “This Corner”, as featured on the South Paw soundtrack and others such as “Heartbroken,” and “Impayshunt” as featured on his Stuff in My BaCkPaCk” EP, Busta Rhymes’ “They’re Out To Get Me”, Snoop Dogg’s “My Own Way”, Royce Da 5’9′s “My Own Planet” and several others. He has also contributed music to the movie soundtracks “Fast 5″, “Shark Tales” and “Barber Shop 2″. Porter diversified his portfolio by adding film scoring to the line-up. His work can be heard woven through the fabric of Rogue Picture’s film release “Waist Deep”. He also produced music heard on a premiere movie trailer for the renowned N.W.A. biopic, “Straight Outta Compton.” Possessing mythic-like musical qualities similar to that of a superhero emerging out of pages from a Marvel comic book, the multi-faceted, multi-dimensional Mr. Porter can also be seen performing on stages across the world as Eminem’s hype man. He also prides himself in representing the “underdog”. “I represent regular people with regular problems, “ he shares. “This is who I am, nothing else. People should never overlook the underdog. There are a lot of extraordinary people out here doing great things, but don’t care to toot their own horns. They are special in their own right and ways. These people contribute to and make the world go around in equally extraordinary ways.” Through the independent label, My Own Planet, he released his first ever solo project, “sTuFf In My BaCkPaCk” organically and is currently in the studio creating several notable projects via his production company, "Planit Dope", while creatively releasing cool content to satisfy his growing legion of fans. Porter is also developing phenomenal artists and cutting edge producers, seeding them out for the world to hear. Of these upcoming projects he states, “They have no attachment to anything old, nothing I’ve done before. This is me being as creative as I’ve always wanted to be. It’s demonstrative of my evolution musically, creatively.” “I want to encourage people to take that leap and live the life they have left to do the things they need to do to make themselves happy,” Porter further states. “This is the place I’m in and I’m excited about what the future holds. dEnAuN the Artist.
