Pop Magazine recently named the album number 44 on its list of the top 50 albums of 2020 above albums from artists like Taylor Swift. This list includes Alicia Keys, John Legend and Gregory Porter. The Nashville Songwriters Association International recently repeatedly recognized desmond as a Songwriter to Watch. He has been nominated for an Emerging Artist of 2021 Award by Pop Magazine. desmond played lead roles in Jamaica's LTM National Pantomime, acting and singing at the famous Ward Theatre. He also did cabaret performances on Jamaica's North Coast hotel circuit at locations like Club Jamaica and Americana (now the lavish Moon Palace). The exciting album features ten tracks, from easy mid-tempo to vibrant upbeat, and is about money or the lack of it, and how those realities affect the choices that one makes in life. To maximize the album's engagement, desmond enlisted the creative support of some of the best talents in the business - the amazing Dean Fraser (Sly & Robbie), super talented Courick Clarke (Toots Hibbert, Tessanne Chin,) and hit machine Mikey Bennett (Cindy Lauper) with additional support on the New York side from powerhouses Sidney Mills ( Smashing Pumpkins, Ziggy Marley, the Neville Brothers) and James Gately.
