2007–2012: Early career, setbacks, and recognition[edit]
D.Beezy began his career in 2008 by recording his song State Bound[7] which was for his high schools basketball team that they ran out to before every home game.

In 2010, D.Beezy joined a hip-hop group called Dem Swagg Starr Boyz[8] Which was managed by Robert "Dasolo" Mosby. The group would remain together until 2012. The group fell apart due to mismanagement and differences in ideas.
After his stint in the group Dem Swagg Starr Boyz, D.Beezy began working on music again almost immediately. In 2012, he earned some buzz with the mixtape D.Beezy Music. He also caught the attention of his local community by releasing the entrance song for his local high school basketball team titled State Bound.

In early 2013, D.Beezy released the single, Dream Big[9], via his YouTube Channel. The single received critical praise with the community saying it, "Definitely is from the heart and can be related to by many."
In April 2014 he was interviewed by The Hype Magazine for his song DBM.[10]
In September 2014 he would then go on to be invited to The Depot Days Music Festival[11] and headline. D.Beezy would then be invited back to headline the next 4 years.
2015–present: Success with career[edit]
D.Beezy would continue to release music until he ultimately decided to give music a break in 2017 for a year. He learned marketing and began to release music again in early January 2018 releasing his song 1989[12] which is a remix of Yo Gottis song 81. D.Beezy then went on to release more singles including Call For Help[13] produced by Metro Boomin among countless others.
Artistry[edit]
D.Beezy is known primarily for his "confessional anthems" that blend often autobiographical lyrics with a variety of original beats. In a review of his early music, Todd Ellington in a Buzz Feed Article noted that D.Beezy "really paints a picture with his story telling lyrics."[14] And continues on to say "he has really stuck to his guns with his originality".[15] In recent releases, he has incorporated more singing.
