At age 14 he started writing his own stand-up act and started performing, debuting his acts at the world famous Improv in Los Angeles. De’Shawn was an active volunteer for Project Share in Chicago where he served food to the economically disadvantaged in his community. He is currently on his school’s honor roll and holds academic awards. He resides in Los Angeles, California.
