Bjorn Jensen
Bjorn "DonBeezy" Jensen, from Mpls., Mn, was born into a family where music was entertwined with the culture. Although he is multi-ethnic (Jamaican, Norwegian, Native American, and Scottish), it is his mother's Jamaican roots that would be one of the influential forces that would lead to a life-long love of music as an expression of the multi-facets of the heart. His mom used to tell him 'music runs in the family's blood'. His grandfather was a musician and played multiple instruments by ear, same for one of his uncles and brother, not to mention numerous singers in the family in Jamaica . His brother Sanchez is internationally known and one of Jamaica's finest singers. DonBeezy's rhymes are smooth, original, unique, and flow like water.
DonBeezy, who is not only an artist but also the VP for KINGSMEN Entertainment, is currently creating CD's for release with a group called Shotta Kings. He is also currently involved with the Shad Ireland Foundation, which is a non-profit organization that created the Urban Music Initiative.
So like DonBeezy, keep it 100 and keep creating and living Positive Vibrations! - GYEAY!
