NEW YORK

Deshaun Lerenz Nicholson also known as "D. Renzo" (Born January 14th, 1999) is an American Recording Artist, Songwriter and Producer from Queens, New York. Discovering his passion for songwriting and the recording arts early in his life at the age of 11, under the moniker "D-Money", he was the head of a rap trio he named "The Young Soldiers". In 2010, at the age 11, Nicholson recorded his first ever tracks in his Father's basement studio in their South Jamaica residence across from the infamous South Jamaica House's "40 Projects". 

​

At the age of 15, Nicholson then linked up with a fellow South, Jamaica rapper known as "Peso Mills" in 2014, who then brought him to his soon to be long time engineer and friend "Zeus Anderson" where he recorded his first ever track that would later on be released via Soundcloud under his newly found stage name "Renzo".

​

After almost 2 years of making music under the stage name "Renzo", in late 2015 a close friend of Nicholson's suggested that he changed his name to "D. Renzo" due to the fact that the noun "Renzo" was already in use by various latin Soundcloud profiles. Nicholson clearly took it into consideration and has been releasing music worldwide via hundreds of major music platforms under the alias "D. Renzo" ever since.
