Deshawn Visionz aka Quentin Deshawn Ward is a rapper from Sacramento, CA, currently living in Atlanta, GA. Deshawn says that he decided to start making music in 2018 in order to motivate a friend of his who also was making music at the time. Soon after, Deshawn Visionz attended a Saba concert, which gave him the push he needed to start getting serious about making music. Considering this, Deshawn lists Saba as his biggest influence, but says that Mick Jenkins and Isaiah Rashad are two other artists who inspire his chill vibe and self-described, “soul-conscious” sound.
Deshawn Visionz released his first project, Stranded - EP in 2020. The project opens with “Eden,” the most popular song of Deshawn’s young career. Just a year later, Deshawn Visionz returned, releasing the full-length, Soulstice in December 2021. This project sees highs on “No More Disguises” and “Guillotine” featuring Damelasoul and Genie. In 2022, Deshawn released Home, What’s Home, a 9-track effort highlighted by “Human.” Staying consistent, he released two, two-packs in 2023, Time Is Now and Relapse/Run.
