Hidden Gems: Meet Desmond Jones of Bunks 2 Billions

Today we’d like to introduce you to Desmond Jones. Them and their team share their story with us below:

Desmond Jones, Born Jan 3, 1976, who is also known as Quabil, started his career in the rap group known as the 240 Boys, but ultimately developed his music background from being involved in church; where his grandmother was a Pastor, as well as all of his uncles being musicians.

In 1997, Desmond had his first taste of the professional music industry, when his friend, DJ Taz made a hit record that went worldwide, That’s Right. From then on, Desmond was blessed with opportunities to meet and network with some of the top industry music makers, which include: 8 Ball & MJG, Bun B, Tyrese, Outkast & George Clinton.

Desmond was also privileged to have some hands-on education and experience from managing, producing, and promoting; which enlightened him of the “Do’s” and “Don’ts” of the music and entertainment industry.

From that experience, childhood friends Mike “Fat Mike” Morris and Kareem Harris, influenced Desmond to become his own solo artist and pursue his own rap career based off of his talents. During his rap career, he wrote and recorded many songs, for himself as well as numerous other artists. However, after learning the logistics of the music industry and realizing how it all actually operates; he knew what would make a better situation for himself, as well as other artists around him.

Desmond then transitioned into his new role as being CEO of Bunks 2 Billions, LLC, where he is responsible for creating value for all stakeholders, through the management of the company’s key functions, which include Artist and Entertainment management. Desmond also serves as a director and spokesperson for his company; where he is always being constantly involved in all aspects of the company’s business. He is very hands-on with the management of all talent on the company’s roster.

Desmond has over 12 years in business and information of the music industry and over eight years in working in entertainment-related projects; as well as being coached by some of the industry’s most aggressive, talented industry individuals. Desmond also has a passion for the entertainment industry; a zeal to help individuals be their BEST is the driving force that enables him to work so hard.

He has also served as an independent consultant for many businesses.

Desmond is actively involved with giving back to his community. He dedicates his time to being an asset to his community by uplifting and bringing hope to his community and those around him.

Desmond also enjoys spending time with his family and friends, reading, traveling, and mentoring others.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Desmond has endured several struggles and challenges along the way. At the age of five, Desmond was hit by a car, which knocked him 20 feet in the air, over power lines, which resulted in him having a traumatic brain injury and a broken leg, in which the Doctors told his family that he probably wouldn’t survive or live long due to his injuries. But he did! Desmond also spent his childhood with an absentee father and started getting involved with the wrong crowd; which resulted in several incarcerations from an early age. And In 2005, Desmond was charged and convicted of assault on two police officers and possession of a firearm, which resulted in him spending 9 years in prison.
