Damion "Damizza" Young Biography

Damion "Damizza" Young, a passionate American music industry CEO, has become a synergy expert and a formidable force. Boasting 50 million record sales and numerous awards, his rise from humble origins to global acclaim showcases his resilience, determination, and unwavering devotion to music.

Raised by his widowed grandmother in Santa Barbara, Damizza's musical affinity began early. At age 12, he started his first radio job to support his family, rapidly becoming the youngest program director ever at 17. In this capacity, he broke songs by Hootie and the Blowfish and No Doubt, marking himself as a visionary with a keen ear for talent.

Over time, Damizza has worked with music industry titans such as Diddy, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Eminem. His roles as a producer, CEO, and radio executive at Power 106 Los Angeles/Hot 97 New York greatly impacted the industry. Source Magazine rated him multiple times, peaking as the #4 most powerful person in hip-hop.

Notably, Damizza played a pivotal part in finalizing the biggest music deal ever while collaborating with Mariah Carey on the "Glitter" album. He managed her transition to industry icon Benny Medina, which led to her worldwide #1 comeback single, "We Belong Together."

Furthermore, Damizza helped resolve the East/West Coast rap feud by introducing Snoop Dogg to Notorious BIG and arranging Snoop’s performance at Hot 97’s ‘Summer Jam’ with JAY-Z. Despite immense success, Damizza stays grounded, guided by his grandmother's teachings. He imparts his passion and wisdom in his critically acclaimed book, "Guilty By Association," co-written with J. Marshall Craig and Eddie Gurrola. The book provides insights into his work, motivations, and a peek into the music world he cherishes.

With a career spanning decades, Damizza's story embodies dedication, fervor, and an unyielding commitment to music and artists. His legacy stems from his grandmother's unwavering support and encouragement to chase his dreams. He continues to impact the music industry and inspire others to pursue their aspirations. He contributes to charities like "Make A Wish Foundation," Jim Brown's "Amer-I-Can Foundation," and serves as an advisor at www.freedom4youth.org, juvenile halls, and prisons.
