  Dennis Burgess, founder and CEO of One Man Army Marketing and Promotions Inc.,
  is a Hempsteadian to the heart. Burgess had always felt the talent that radiated from
  every corner of his hood, and his company came into being because he knew that
  these talents deserved proper representation and promotion. Born and raised in
  Hempstead, Long Island, New York, Burgess became a local celebrity in his early
  teens as an athlete. At fourteen, he was offered a sales position for a local clothing
  designer, his first business opportunity that kept him off the streets, and helped him
  recognize his life's ambition. While in high school, Burgess earned his permanent
  notch in the belt of Hempstead's history as the point guard of the school's
  championship basketball team.

  The summer of 1997, eighteen-year old Burgess moved to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue
  his education and basketball, just before it became "The ATL." Young Burgess was
  enticed by the bubbling energy of the city, and he went for a piece of the gusto. Less
  than a year later, Burgess presented his first event, a Basketball Tournament, quickly
  establishing a reputation in the city and on the college campuses as the New Yorker
  that knew how to rock an event. Burgess did not stop there, various productions
  followed, including parties at many of Atlanta's legendary nightclubs, celebrity
  basketball games, talent shows, and open mic showcases.

  After six years, Burgess returned to New York bringing his experience from the big city
  to his hometown. His local events, parties, poetry slams, open mics, quickly built a
  strong following once the people realized it was a Burgess production. In 2004,
  Burgess and One Man Army Marketing and Promotions Inc. were established on the
  streets of Hempstead as the logo for the local stars. One Man Army's most noted
  event is the Annual Hempstead Music Festival, which has happened every summer
  since 2003.

  The company's website was published on the worldwide web in 2005 featuring local
  artists and their products. In 2004, Burgess let the world see exactly what his events in
  Atlanta were like on the Match Up Mix Tape DVD. This year they released the album
  "DJ Bird Productions Presents Enemy Lines" a mix tape featuring Long Island breed
  artists, and producers.

  Burgess believes that "At the end of the day, I am truly a one man army, because a lot
  of peopleare into this hip hop thing, but I am doing it all, I am not afraid to try
  something outside of my genre. I am fighting for my people using multi-faceted
  entertainment, and they know I am from the streets, my movement is street, and I will
  always be for the streets."
