D.BAIL/PLATANOS & COLLARD GREENS



"If you haven't seen this play you should definitely check it out. It's the talk of the city in NY. 'Can love between Blacks & Dominicans Survive?' They have one of the most talented cast and crew I've ever seen. The storyline entertains and enlightens its audience as well.
In March of 2008, Aderia L. Johnson and Tower Yearbook at New Jersey City University booked Platanos & Collard Greens to perform at the Margaret Williams Theatre on campus. I hosted the show, BET's own DJ Nix in the Mix was doing his thing on the 1's & 2's along with the very talented emcee & singer La Femme Nikita. 107.5 WBLS Street Team came through to promote and show love to the nearly sold out audience. Sparxx Clothing Company CEO Lisa made sure La Femme Nikita and I were fresh in our original outfits to hold it down. " - D.BAIL

D.BAIL/PRE-COLLEGE PROGRAM


"One of the things that I do outside of the industry that I'm most proud of is my work with the young people. I am a Media Arts Instructor for a program called Upward Bound at NJCU. It's a weekend program that helps middle school/high school get prepared for college. The program gives classes on Saturday, extra tutoring, it pays for their SAT test and college applications. I work with the students who are trying to work in the entertainment field. I teach four aspects of Media including Film, Radio, TV & Audio. We shoot a documentary/movie once a semester that the students write and produce themselves. I encourage their creativity, and allow them to stand out and be leaders. The class also works on their self-esteem and helping them become better communicators in general. This is the best aspect of my career, the chance to give back. There are so many kids who don't have an outlet in the streets. I want them to feel as whatever they want to do in life as long as they have education and work hard they can achieve it." - D.BAIL

D.BAIL/SOHH.COM


"I began interning at SOHH.com in 2001 which was a crazy year. I was still in college making the proper adjustments to school full time, working part time and keeping a internship. I remember being at the old office downtown Jersey City on 9/11 watching the second plane hit those buildings. The next day I started working for Americorps National Service and went straight to NYC helping out. SOHH gave me the opportunity to humble myself, work hard, soak up information about the industry and not complain. SOHH.com is hands down one of the best websites out today and I seen them come up through dedication and sacrifice. It is definitely an inspiration for me and others starting out with their own company. The Co-Owner was someone I had looked up to for years and he taught me to do the little things well and when bigger opportunties came I would be able to handle it. A lot of people want to work in the business but don't like to put any work in. I interned a total of 5 years with various companies because you have to pay dues..." - D.BAIL

D.BAIL/MUSIC CHOICE


"I remember my friend calling me when the opportunity to audition finally came. I walked in the building with no headshots or managament. I drove them crazy weeks after trying to see if I got the spot. Working as a host with Music Choice was one of the best things that happened in my career. It's when I officially became a professional. The best experiences I had was going in to view and shoot the first episode, having my friends and family with me and realizing how blessed I was. The DEMMX award was cool too. We had the most talked about artists on our show and definetely set the standard with the On Demand service. The producers molded me into a better host and constantly challenged me to step it up. The staff treated me so good, I used to love the free Red Bull and snacks! I learned alot about the business end of TV and Music Choice opened up plenty doors for me, I am still greatful to have had that shot." - D.BAIL

D.BAIL/YOUR MEDIA ARTS SPECIALIST

"I just wanted to follow my dreams and I did. A few great people helped me along the way to make sure I had a chance. All the goals I set as a kid God made possible, now I have to give back to all of those who dream too."

D. Bail has been an entertainer since his birth on March 22nd. Born in New York and later raised in Plainfield New Jersey, Doug has worked effortlessly since his young teens building a plan for his exciting future. His contagious personality, spontaneous wit and quick learning skills have allowed him opportunities many dream of. He has loved acting and performing since his early teens and at 17 did his first commercial for Burger King. He entered college shortly after and interned at many prestigious companies such as Elektra Records, Comcast Cable, SOHH.com, MTV Networks, Collegeclub.com and Walt Disney World as well. Doug graduated from New Jersey City University in May 2005 with a BA degree in Media Arts/Communications. He learned a lot about the business as well as production aspect of entertainment but longed to stay in front of the camera where he felt he had a gift.

A year before graduation in Doug's senior year at college, television producer Mike Sisti made Doug his new host of, "Where Ya At?" through Comcast Cable and it immediately became a prime time hit in New Jersey. With the viewer ship reaching 700,000 customers, the prime time video show was a forum for Mr. Bailey to interview stars like Slim Thug, B.G., Mannie Fresh, Joe, T-Pain, Mike Jones, Amerie, Bow Wow, Yung Joc, Tony Yayo of G-Unit and many more. That led to an opportunity to be apart of the 2005 Justo's Mixtape Awards at BB Kings in NYC where Doug conducted backstage interviews with all the performers and presenters which included Diddy, DJ Kay Slay,The Game, Common, Do or Die, Green Latern, Shyeim, The Legendary DJ Luv Bug Starski, Pitbull, Bishop Lamont, Purple City, DJ Vlad, DJ Finess, DJ Radio, DJ Ron C, DJ Kurupt, Tre Williams, Rich Boy, Consquence, DJ Big Kap, DJ Backside, The Original Spinderella, Papoose, Boot Camp Click, Saigon, Remy Ma, Chamillionare, Swizz Beats, E.Ness, J Love, Just Blaze, Tru-Life and countless others.

One year later Doug auditioned for a VJ job at Music Choice and along with Bre, a top contestant from America's Next Top Model, was chosen to co-host "Certified", a show where fans vote on their favorite music artists in a head to head competition. The show featured competitions such as Chris Brown vs. Neo, Janet Jackson vs. Beyonce, Keyshia Cole vs. Mary J. Blige & T.I. vs. Lil' Wayne to name a few. Within 6 months the show gathered over 2 million viewers. The show "Certified" won a Billboard DEMMX award in 2007 for Best New Interactive Show. With the cable TV On Demand feature, fans were able to be interactive with the show through Cingular text messages, online votes, one on one street interviews with D.Bail and even voting on their remote control.

Doug known as "D. Bail" on the award winning show continues to look for different opportunities to grow in the business. He has recently began hosting live events such as the hit off-broadway play Platanos and Collard Greens, various Poetry Slams, Artist Showcases, Fashion Shows & Birthday Parties. D.Bail was also the feature correspondent for Comcast/Cablevison & Verizon Fios new urban video show "What's Hot TV", which had a viewership of 2.8 million subscribers in New Jersey, Philadelphia & Delaware. The show gave D.Bail the opportunity to spotlight his upcoming events as well as promoting his forthcoming DVD "D.Bail Files Volume 1" which features some of his highlights in the entertainment business along with exclusive artist interviews.

Doug is currently working at 107.5 WBLS, the NYC flagship station for the Steve Harvey Morning Show & The Wendy Williams Experience, as well as inspirational Gospel station WLIB 1190 AM in their Promotions department.
