At a time when originality and creativity are harder and harder to find, God-Des and She stand apart from the monotonous "bling-bling, booty-booty" that's going on. Even though God-Des is open gay, her wit, humor, skill and charisma appeal to more than just a gay fan base. Both God-Des and She have an amazing ability to connect with a diverse group of people through their lyrics, stories, and catchy tunes.

Logo (MTV's new gay channel) recently began airing Hip Hop Homos, a documentary featuring God-Des & She. They recently performed on the season finale of "the L Word" and completed a song for a compilation with Dead Prez and Mos Def. "Can't Stand" was nominated for the 2005 Out Music Awards.

A little more about them.. "Well, we're going to pack up our Uhaul and move to the city of dreams!" And move they did. In March of 2004 they packed up their lives in Madison, Wisconsin and moved to Brooklyn, New York. In little more than a year, they have taken New York City by storm. They have played sold out shows at the famed Knitting Factory, opened up for MC LYTE and Slick Rick, performed at the Supper Club for the Showtime / GO NYC magazine L WORD party, and performed countless other high profile gigs. These women are magnetic on stage, lighting up the faces of the audience every time! Fresh from the Michigan Women's Festival and the season finale of the L Word, God-Des and She plan to bring a set to Jackson like nothing ever seen before!

GOD-DES has been rhyming for over 10 years. She started out as a percussionist-Yep, a marching band geek turned rapper. Does it get any better than that? She spent her school bus rides home rapping for her friends: a natural performer from the start. She is also an "out" gay-Ya'll ever heard of a white dyke Jewish rapper from Wisconsin? Didn't think so!!!

SHE can sing her ass off! Adding a layer rarely heard in Hip Hop today, SHE's contribution elevates the music to a whole new level. Their chemistry on and off stage is undeniable! You never heard a white girl have so much soul.
