**BRAINZ DAVIS formerly M.C. Brains**

Brainz Davis (born James DeShannon Davis) was born in Cleveland, Ohio on May 24th. Born with a love for music and a talent for performing; Brainz grew up knowing he wanted to be an M.C. He performed anywhere and for anyone who wanted to listen to him; but Brainz had to face a few life struggles to get there. After the loss of his brother and stepfather; Brainz, by the age of 13, had found his comfort in the streets. He was gang banging, drug dealing, and losing friends left and right. He was saved just in the nick of time. One day as a youngster everything changed overnight for Brainz.

A friend who worked at the local Denny's called Brainz to let him know that Michael Bivins (of New Edition fame) and his entourage were dining at the restaurant. Brainz woke up mama and they were off to Denny's to take a leap of faith. After mamas quick introduction to Biv, Brainz was freestylin' in the parking lot of the Denny's the next month he was on a plane to L.A. As Brainz puts it; it was just like Trading Places. He was on the Sunset Strip donning new clothes, meeting beautiful women and riding in luxe cars. He is part of Michael Bivin's Biv 10; and now James DeShannon Davis is MC Brains. MC Brains 1st major performance was at The Apollo in 1992. He was added to the roster with Boyz II Men and ABC at the very last minute. His single had not yet been released. He gets on the stage and performs Oochie Coochie and gets a standing ovation. After that astounding performance, Motown Records calls and they want his album completed in 30 days. In 1992, MC Brains 1st CD release entitled Lovers Lane on Biv10/Motown went gold and his 1st single Oochie Coochie went platinum. Still today he is Cleveland's 1st and only solo platinum rap artist to date. 

Brains performed at the American Music Awards, and Dick Clarks New Years Rockin Eve and was touring around all over the world. He presented at the Soul Train Music Awards and hosted Yo! MTV Raps. MC Brains graced the covers of many urban music publications; including Black Beat and Word Up! Magazines. The women fell in love with his sex appeal and now Everybody's Talkin about MC Brains. He released his second album on Ichiban Records; an Indie-label out of Atl. It was a new experiences coming out independently for Brainz at that time, with pretty much no promotion. Still doing what he love to do, he traveled and did shows to promote the album. Even tho sales wasn't like the first time around, he was able to generate revenue. Brainz is also known as "Cleveland's 1st Platinum M.C.". A real M.C. stay sharp on his craft and that's just what he did. While still working in the studio and performing spot dates, he decided to focus more on DeShannon, family, and life as a man. Now a grown man that has been though a lot more then the average man his age, he understands his role in life. Now juggling normal life and life as a entertainer, this gave him a sense of reality as a writer. Releasing a few underground albums and mixtapes during this time kept him sharp for the best to come.

Now its 2015 and Brainz Davis is his name. His new project GEMINI is his hottest releases yet, releasing summer of 2016. It showcases the two different sides of his gemini. Brainz has a tremendous amount of talent and heart; not only making this release justified; but just the beginning of the Brainz Davis legacy.
