"Big Dez was superb, sizzling guitar mastery combined with rich powerhouse vocals....Big Dez is the real, international blues deal. Go see!" - Review from recent 100 Club headline - Denise Lester - Blues In Britain.
“Dez is heavily influenced by Albert Collins and Chicago blues; his slashing guitar combines Albert Collins’ icy tension with Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson¹s metallic crunch, and vocals like Omar Kent Dykes” - Blues Revue USA
