The Beginning

Ever since the release of the movie Purple Rain in 1984, DaVaughn Weber, 3 years old at the time became a humble fan of the one and only Prince. His father Doyle Weber Jr who's also a musician, took him to see the film numerous times, and the more DaVaughn saw the film he quickly noticed the resemblance of the late star and his father. When DaVaughn’s parents split apart he remained with his mother.  Without his father in the home, DaVaughn stated " Prince reminded me so much of my father that after he left, whenever I saw Prince on T.V or in a magazine, it was like seeing my father again. It became easy for me to follow Prince’s career, and I loved every minute of it". I've always paid close attention to him, how he walked, talked and especially his mannerisms". Growing into a teen DaVaughn started to notice his likeness to the purple one.  Ever since he was a kid, people always told him how much he looked like Prince.  He began to see it around at 13.  Years later in 2015, DaVaughn decided to dress as Prince for Halloween, it was then he realized that there was something special. He won 1st place at every Prince lookalike contest he attended and started to make special appearances throughout the country.

 

Now

"I never knew anything about tribute shows until 2012.  I've seen Elvis impersonators before but never knew of any actual live tribute performances. I've always wanted to do just that, but didn't know how to get started or who to talk to. After my photos floated around on social media for a while, I recieved requests to be the front man of the tribute shows. I enjoyed the experience, rehearsing and touring, however it just wasn't my vision of what I had in mind. During the pandemic, I had a lot of time to think about what I wanted to do. So, in 2021 I teamed up with some very talented musicians who understood my vision and have dedicated themselves to this project".
