Deekon Jones was born on the NiMiiPuu (Nez Perce) Reservation in Lapwai, Idaho. Living life as an Afro-Indigenous community member on the reservation proved to be unique with its challenges, but also a center for creativity, ingenuity, and resilience. Music has always been THE Mental Health outlet for Deekon, and through Hip Hop, (Too $hort, 2Pac, DJ Quik, Snoop, RBL Possee, Above the Law etc.) Jazz (Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, Lionel Hampton), R&B/Soul (Jodeci, SWV, Zapp & Roger, Jackie Wilson, Wilson Pickett, Ginuwine, Keith Sweat, Aaliyah), Deekon found that bridging genres is what keeps his busy mind satisfied. As a producer, engineer, writer and artist, Jones found himself trading a beat for a talkbox one day. Growing up on Zapp & Roger, he knew what was possible, but was never trained to play keys. Once the attachment was made though, songs like PAST LYFE were born. Everything is played by ear, and yet the soul of music lives!
Music is the pyramid of life...
