D. DoRohn Gough

As a young child DoRohn was surrounded by music and grew up in a talented musical family. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, the son of David Gough, founder of the "International Gospel Music Hall of Fame and Museum".[1]

DoRohn received classical and jazz training at the Center for Creative Studies and Performing Arts and went on to study music at Eastern Michigan University.

During that time DoRohn was blessed to meet Kern & Valdez Brantley, (musical directors for Lady Gaga and Usher) and they became his musical mentors.

After college DoRohn remained committed to his gospel roots and began working with gospel music artist Dorinda Clark-Cole. He was soon recruited to play the keyboards for the 2006 "Up-close and Personal Tour" featuring Chris Brown and Ne-Yo tour.

During that tour Ne-Yo discovered DoRohn’s song writing ability and signed him to a production deal to Compound Entertainment. Though that deal DoRohn produced the hit "Then There’s You" for Day 26 and the smash hit "Can’t be Good" for Janet Jackson on her "Discipline" album. But the best was yet to come.

Ne-Yo selected DoRohn to produce several songs for his upcoming album Libra Scale.

A rare feat for any new producer as Ne-Yo has mainly worked with the production team Stargate, an entity DoRohn’s production style has often been compared to.

DoRohn worked diligently and came to produce two records for the Libra Scale album, "What Have I Done?" and the track for the hit single Champagne Life.[2]
