| About Me: | Donte' M. Lee was born on March 20, 1976 to Patricia D. Lee and Silas King. During his early years Donte', along with his younger brother "James Bond", was raised in a single-parent home by his mother who loved the Lord. Without much money in the home, Donte' – who had already inherited a horrible temper from his father – developed a relationship with "The Streetz" through gang life, selling drugs, smoking, drinking, and sex. This "street life" a.k.a. death, lead to multiple trips to jail. (This is where the devil would have loved to keep this young man, but God…!)
Though, being raised in a Christian home by his Mom and Dad (Pastor Scott "Pop" Bond), during the summer of 1996, Donte’ was once again imprisoned after having recently been released from incarceration just 5 months prior. With this incarceration he faced 17 years to Life, but vowed to live for Jesus from that day forward if God would get him out of his situation. God did, and Donte' only got 3 years in jail. Soon after that, Donte’ was reborn and his name was changed to "UnCommon" – a name derived by God from Acts 10:15 ("Call thou not common what I've cleansed"). From that moment forward, he began ministering through music behind bars. Donte’, a.k.a. “UnCommon” (UC), has worked with a number of great artists over the years. He shared the same stage with individuals ranging from Brent Jones/T.P. Mob and Tonex' to Andre' Crouch and Bobby Jones. He's also worked with the famous Jon Tiven, who wrote for The Rolling Stones and produced for B.B. King, Syl Johnson (father of Syleena Johnson), Wilson Pickett, and Little Milton. God has blessed this young man with a vast variety of musical abilities including Hip-Hop, Jazz, Blues, Traditional Gospel, Contemporary and/ or R & P Christian. This will be evident to the world that remains to hear UnCommon on the upcoming album “I Am U”, set to be released in 2008 on DIVORSIN THE STREETZ MUSIC, affiliated with Remnant Records. If your church or venue is ready for truth from soul to soul, this man of God is truly a Godsend for all ages. THE NEXT WAVE OF MUSIC "BH"! FAM.
