According to his own account, in his youth his friends referred to him as "Dez, man" - thus creating his artistic pseudonym Desman. His self-titled breakthrough album in 2002 featured three top ten singles ("Shook", "Spread My Wings" and "Get Ready") on the Canadian charts. The album went on to achieve gold certification in Canada.
His follow up, Back for More (2005), with more sexual lyrics, reached number fifty on the Canadian airplay charts. His single from that album, "Let's Go", reached number six on the MuchMusic Countdown. He is currently signed with Sony BMG Music (Canada). Desman is also known for sporting the "sidehawk" hair style, a sort of diagonal mohawk. "Spread My Wings" was a featured song in the movie Kangaroo Jack. Desman was also spotted in the movie Honey alongside Jessica Alba, performing his song "Sexy".

Thinking about the club that we gonna hit
the spot gonna be hot tonight
so I better be looking tight
Grab my coat & my keys
Look out here comes the Mercedes
And all you ladies coming out tonight
watch out because tonight I'm gonna get mine
[Chorus]
To all my players, who be waiting in line
Come on, Get In, Get Ready
To all my ladies,who be dressing real fine
Come on, Get In, Get Ready
Anybody who wants to freak it tonight
Come on, Get In, Get Ready
Bring your credit and your money inside
Come on, Get In, Get Ready
Come on in and throw it up,
Mister DJ come on and turn it up
This is how we rock it in the T-Dot
Come on in and throw it up,
Mister DJ come on and turn it up
This is how we rock it in the T-Dot
Over here at the bar
Everything looking good so far
I see a shorty come at my way
Better think about what to say
She said "YO What the deal?"
Boy you know it's you that I feel
So I said I going to do you right
Tonight we're going to have a good time
[Chorus]
To all my players, who be waiting in line
Come on, Get In, Get Ready
To all my ladies, who be dressing real fine
Come on, Get In, Get Ready
Anybody who wants to freak it tonight
Come on, Get In, Get Ready
Bring your credit and your money inside
Come on, Get In, Get Ready
Come on in and throw it up,
Mister DJ come on and turn it up
This is how we rock it in the T-Dot
Come on in and throw it up,
Mister DJ come on and turn it up
This is how we rock it in the T-Dot
[Chorus]
To all my players, who be waiting in line
Come on, Get In, Get Ready
To all my ladies, who be dressing real fine
Come on, Get In, Get Ready
Anybody who wants to freak it tonight
Come on, Get In, Get Ready
Bring your credit and your money inside
Come on, Get In, Get Ready
In the song "Get Ready" by Shawn Desman, the lyrics describe the excitement of going out to the club on a Friday night. The first verse details the singer's preparations for the night, including getting dressed and getting into his car to head out. The chorus invites the "players" waiting in line and the "ladies" dressing up, as well as anyone else who wants to "freak it" that night, to come join him at the club. He asks everyone to bring their money and credit with them, as they are in for a good time.
The second verse has the singer at the bar, spotting a girl he is attracted to. He mentions feeling the pressure to come up with the right things to say to her, but ultimately decides that he is going "to do [her] right" and that they will have a good time together.

I see a woman walking towards me
Better think about what to say
I need to come up with something to say to her
She said 'YO What the deal?'
She asked me how I'm doing
Boy you know it's you that I feel
You're the one I'm interested in
So I said I going to do you right
I told her I'm going to treat her well
Tonight we're going to have a good time
We're going to have fun tonight
