Jermaine “DR3D” Ingram C.E.O of Payaduez ENT. knows exactly what it takes to make it in the music business. It takes hard work, dedication and the ability to put out good music that the fans will enjoy. The past ten years and those experiences have built on Dr3d’s knowledge and survival and have molded him into an artist like nothing the Carolinas have seen to date.

On July 5, 1973 a star was born. Richard Jermaine Ingram was born the son of Richard and Mary Ingram in a small town called Maxton N.C. At the age of nine his father was ordained as a Baptist minister, and that is where his musical roots began. At the age of thirteen his parents bought a piano and enrolled him into piano lessons. He took lessons for five years and was taught classical music. Despite the hard time that he received from his peers he toughed it out and benefited from the hard work and dedication. At the age of 16 he decided that producing was very interesting to him so he began making beats. After he crafted the skill he took it to another level and in 1999 he founded PAYADUEZ ENT. Payaduez Entertainment has grown, adding new artists and stepping into a management and production role as well as a featured and performing artist around the Carolinas and surrounding states.

2010 brings an all new style and character from Dr3d. Watch as something brand new emerges from the Payaduez camp.  Beginning with the release of the hot single “Everything’s Alright” and Official Video filmed by Carolina Exposed DVD.
