Born Desmond Fahie (pronounced foi – ee) in Crooklyn, NY 1979, D’Fahie was introduced to music at the age of five through the musical talents of his parents and church upbringing. He fell in love with the drums and later began experimenting with singing, incorporating syncopation with the art of melody.
D’Fahie listened to artists such as Bobby Mcpheron, Prince, D’Angelo and Erykah Badu. For him these artists in particular seemed to sing individual notes like each one was an instrument itself and then harmonize them with what the rest of the world was listening to. Heavily influenced by jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythm, D’Fahie notes, “I adore Latin music, especially the chords that they sing their hooks in.” He was exposed and enjoyed listening to GoGo music in Washington D.C., where he studied the complex rhythms it presented and began to understand the importance of a consistent dance rhythm. D’Fahie says of the experience, “definitely the best thing to ever happen to live music.”
Most important with listening to good music of any genre comes to the ability to evoke a multitude of emotions. It is within these emotions that remembrance of events take place. D’Fahie says, “it is in this place that songs are born, concepts orchestrated and executed. Writing comes easy for me; however, life wasn’t exactly easy for me and my family. Everyone loves a good story.”
D’Fahie’s story is told in various projects. Performing under his given name or monikers such as Des and AudioTap, D'Fahie has cultivated a rich and eclectic history. After completing a four year stint with the Dog Men Poets, he began playing percussion for a San Antonio based latin-infused favorite, Border Palace. He currently leads the highly touted “funktastic” band, Groove Movement with his charismatic vocals and adept songwriting skills. His performance venues include Luna Live Music, Mix, Rebar, Revolution Room, Roadrunner Cantina, Changos, Swig, Blue Star Art Complex, Incarnate Word University, Club Rive, and Antones (ATX). He has opened up for the Black Eyed Peas at the Verizon Apmphitheater, played on the Bobby Jones Show at Disney World in Florida and most recently (with fellow musician Matt Barker) opened for the America's Got Talent phenom, Cas Haley and Woodbelly.
The newest chapter in D’Fahie’s story will begin with his solo debut, Silly Human, which is currently in the works and the official formation of a yet to be named partnership with Dog Men Poet alumni, Matt Barker.
