Douglas E. Davis was born on September 17, 1966 in the Barbados.
Before Darren Robinson of the Fat Boys and Biz Markie, there was Doug E. Fresh “The Original Human Beat Box.” Although others may have gotten more recognition for their beat box skills, it was Doug who started it all.
An early 12″ was “Pass the Budda” by Doug Fresh, Spoonie Gee, and DJ Spivey on Spotlight Records in either 1982 or 83.
One of Doug’s early introductions to the world was his beat box routine in Beat Streetalongside The Treacherous Three during the performance of “Xmas Rap.”
One of his earliest recordings as a solo artist was “Just Having Fun” on Enjoy! Records.
Charlie Rock of Harlem World Crew was very instrumental in bringing “Ricky D” AKA “Slick Rick” and Doug E. Fresh together when he was request by Doug to introduce him to Rick after he has seen him win a number of local MC battle contest. It was at a MC Contest at the 369 Armory on 142nd street in Harlem, given by promotion partners Ray chandler & Charlie Rock, The Rick & Doug were formally introduced by Rock.
Doug was the leader of the Get Fresh Crew, which included MC Ricky D, Barry Bee, and Chill Will. Together they recorded two all time hip hop classics: “La-Di-Da-Di” and “The Show” both showcased Doug’s lyrical and beat boxing skills.
Ricky D left to strike out on his own as Slick Rick.
Doug did continue to record albums but never achieved the same success he had with the early singles. He was also featured on The Stop The Violence Movement song “Self Destruction.”
He attempted a comeback on Hammer’s Bust It label in the early 1990’s. More notably he appeared on DJ Kool’s “Let Me Clear My Throat” alongside Biz Markie.
He’s also performed or recorded with 2Pac, Biggie, Eminem, P. Diddy and Dr. Dre as well as venturing into the realms of reggae, r&b and gospel.
He reunited with Slick Rick on a few of Rick’s solo albums.
On July 9, 2012 Fresh served as a celebrity judge on the Apollo Live TV show.
On May 25, 2013 Fresh debuted the classic hip-hop and r&b show called "The Show" on 107.5 WBLS 9-11PM Saturday nights.
Fresh served as a guest mentor to Jeff Dye and Joe Jonas, as well as performed with them, on the show I Can Do That on June 30, 2015.
Fresh is a member of the Church of Scientology. He has performed for large audiences of its adherents at the Scientology Celebrity Center's Anniversary Gala in 2004. He also performed two tracks on the Scientology music album The Joy of Creating (other artists appearing include Isaac Hayes, Chick Corea, Edgar Winter, and Carl Anderson).
Fresh is the spokesperson for the Hip Hop Public Health Education Center at Harlem Hospital Center, in New York City.
Fresh opened a restaurant in New York City called Doug E.'s Chicken and Waffles. He also has stated he has a club called Fresh. He also performed at the Paradise Theater on August 12, 2010. The concert was titled The Show, brought to you by David L David (Spinback Entertainment). On October 28, 2011 Fresh performed at the Paradise Theater for a concert to benefit New York City's public hospitals; the show was part of "STAT! for NYC's Public Hospitals" to raise funds to reduce gun violence in New York City. STAT! was produced by The Fund for HHC, the philanthropic arm of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation - the agency that runs the public hospital system in the City.
Doug, who is married and is the father of six, manages his sons Trip's and Slims’ hip hop group Square Off. Dayquan "Slim's" Davis and his brother, Solomon "Trips" Davis released their debut CD "Money, Moet & Memories " in June 2011. The digital-only release was orchestrated completely by the brothers with Little assistance from Doug. "When he is involved in something, that's us coming to him...mainly everything we do is our concepts, our own direction," Slim said to the NY Daily News.
Doug E. Fresh is currently working on a new album with artist/producer Rufus Blaq.
