[David Le Prince Bio written by Father/Manager Pat Luyeye]
13YR OLD SENSATION OUT OF IRVING, TX.
David Luyeye (AKA David Le Prince) was born September 21, 2000 in Dallas, Texas.
His mother, Michaella Bonose Luyeye, is from Paris, France, while his father Pat Luyeye, better known as “The Genius,” is of African descent from the Democratic Republic of Congo. At age 3, David moved to Paris with his family, where he resided for 6 years, developing a strong international background. It was in Paris that he learned French. By age 6, David was already teaching himself to sing by watching and listening to Michael Jackson, Usher, Chris Brown, and numerous other singers on You Tube. How could such an amazing talent emerge with no formal training? This could only happen because David was truly a natural. In 2010, when David was 9 years old, his family moved back to Oklahoma City, OK. His dream was to become like Michael Jackson, so he asked his father for help. His father said, “I want you to be a man after your own. Nevertheless, you can model after Michael Jackson and other music icons.” Pat Luyeye gave David his first laptop and showed him how to use media contents like YouTube, VIMEO, and MySpace, so he could learn more about melodies, harmonies, style, and dance. In spring of 2010, the American Mall Model Talent Search was held in Oklahoma City and audiences enjoyed David’s Michael Jackson style footwork. He was signed as a Young Model, but soon after the family relocated to Dallas, Texas.
In June 2010, David Le Prince-along with his brother “Tim Fresh” in the background, recorded and released his debut demo album “I Need A Friend.” It’s no surprise that David’s debut album created a strong buzz in Dallas, Texas, in his local community, and among friends and family. “Dance, Dance,” “Rock, Rock,” and “Broken Dream” were recorded on his father’s underground record label “LUYEMPIRE”. These songs were written by Bishop Young Don (Songwriter for Jay Holliday, Genuwine) and co-written by Pat Luyeye “The Genius.” David Le Prince’s sound is broadly inspired by the early Michael Jackson years, Usher, Chris Brown and B2K. But it is described as unique, classic R&B with international French flavor-thanks to David’s time spent in Paris, France. With help from Hip-Hop choreographer Fenton Fulgham, founder of The Revelation School of Dance in Dallas, Texas, David Le Prince’s goal is to be one of the youngest R&B performers/singers of our time.
In the summer of 2012, David’s father (whom is also his manager) began to develop David Le Prince as a new crossover artist, taking him to audio engineer and Grammy winning producer, Jay Lacy teamed with Multi-platinum songwriter and recording artist, Tami LaTrell in Houston, Texas. Together, they produced David’s latest single, “Where You At”. 2013 has proven to be a busy year for David starting with the February release of his video “Where you at” on You Tube which received over 100,000 views to date. The release of his follow up single “Girlfriend” received radio play in Connecticut, California, North Carolina, Illinois, Florida & Iowa. In March 2013 David was featured on FlossMagazine.com and Marketwire.com. In June 2013, David opened up for Jay Cole, Ace Hood & Juvenile, on the Dub Tour in Dallas and performed in several other venues in Dallas and NYC. David Le Prince is not just a 13 year old kid that sings in English & French. He is also a dancer, he studies piano, was the MVP point guard on his basketball summer games team in Irving, Texas, won 1st place in 50 meter dash in 5th grade, is an avid video gamer, draws, and paints. In the future, David plans to learn to play other instruments, dive into the acting world and publish children’s cartoon books. He hopes to work with artists such as Willow Smith, Astro, B2K, Mindless Behavior, Justin Bieber and Usher. And while many call him “Baby Usher,” he prefers to be called David Le Prince. Just think, he will only get better and as he grows and so will his fan base.

Super-Middle Weight Professional Boxer, Tony Mack Celebrates Defeating Fellow Texas Boxer, Curtis Howell at the “Fights at the Fair Grounds” Boxing Match Last Weekend in Dallas, Texas. The Champ was Awarded the Vacant Super-Middle Weight Texas State Title.
Dallas, TX, April 13, 2013 /Krista Kelley PR/ – – Last weekend, boxing fans gathered at the Dallas fair grounds to watch six boxing matches get underway. Professional boxer, Tony Mack featured on the fight card as the main attraction alongside his opponent, Curtis Howell. Fans of the fighter entered the coliseum proudly dressed in black or pink t-shirts with their boxing hero, Tony Mack’s name branded across their chests. The crowd’s attire clearly indicated Mack as the favored boxer of the night. With the vacant Super Middle Weight Texas State Title belt at stake, one might speculate that the professional fighter would be nervous before squaring up against skilled challenger, Curtis Howell. Trumping that theory are pictures and video clips of the confident prized fighter laughing, smiling, and conversing with his team moments before entering the ring.
Ready to rumble, both super-middle weights stepped into the ring for the scheduled six round match presented by J&G Boxing Promotions. During the first bout, the two took turns exchanging blows while gripping the audience with their elusive footwork. By the close of the first round, it was uncertain as to which fighter dominated, leading onlookers to believe that the match would be a nail biter. After a quick re-charge in their respective corners, the competitors returned to go toe to toe in hopes of winning the coveted belt and leaving the other with a canvas kiss. The Tour de Force was short lived, as defender Tony Mack swept the challenger, Curtis Howell into a restrictive position with accurate power punches to the head. The tower of strength, T-Mack gained more ground after Howell’s pawing jab provoked a devastating blow from Mack, forcing Howell to collapse against the ropes. Exploding into a solid jab-hook-punch combo, Mack’s tactics minimized Howell’s ability to counter. Mack captivated the audience with a knockout, triggering an outburst of excitement from spectators. The referee swiftly interjected to lend support to the defeated fighter, declaring Mack the reigning titleholder.
The champion secured the Texas State Title belt with only one minute and thirty-two seconds lapsed in the second round. Mack’s record now stands at six wins with zero losses and three knockouts. The two fighters admirably exited the ring with a respectful embrace. Immediately following the ceremonial merit, the vivacious victor obliged fans with warm-hearted greetings, handshakes, and pictures. Quickly emerging as a professional boxing hero, he thanked his loyal fans and took time to speak one-on-one, displaying a softer side of boxing. The congenial competitor redefines the image of boxing.
