The "Play Maker", Dorian Washington has been in charge of breaking songs such as "One Wish" by Ray J and "Still Tippin" by Mike Jones.  Washington has been in the music business for 15 years and has steadily built up a reputation as an astute talent scout and promoter.  At the initial stages of his career, Washington was managing platinum artists such as, 12 Gauge (2xPlatinum) & Freak Nasty (2 x Platinum).  Seeing a void in the world of artist promotion, Washington launched D Washington Marketing & Promotions successfully leading campaigns by artists like Lil Flip, Slim Thug, Ray J, Dru Hill, and TQ.   As Washington continued to have success, more and more clients came his way including, Universal, Def Jam, EMI, No Limit, and Blackground Records.  At this point there is no question that the name Dorian (Lil D) Washington carries heavy weight in the music industry.  Currently, 60% of all major urban releases utilize Washington's marketing and promotional expertise.  With all the success one could have, Washington was the natural selection to run the day to day business and be the visionary of Gracie Productions Urban Division.
