“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

~~Martin Luther King, Jr.

To simply lay out the qualifications of a man as bold and decisive as Denoh Grear would be easy enough. An Honorably decorated United States soldier serving as a Sergeant in the US Army and while completing his third tour of duty in Iraq he has been on the front lines of democracy starting with and ending with Operation Iraqi Freedom, and has confidently and with great strength helped his fellow soldiers, as a counselor and a leader, see the path to freedom, not only for the people of Iraq, but to make sense for those brothers and sisters he serves with who have been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), as has he.

You could easily talk at length about his continuing effort to lead young people in his hometown of Pawtucket, RI as a case manager for the mentally and emotionally disabled, and his ongoing effort to make sure that every voice has an avenue to be heard and to be respected.

As a musician, writer, poet, entertainer, actor, photographer, director, producer and designer, you would find in Denoh all of the skills and talents that would take most people many lifetimes to develop. But, in Denoh Grear burns a hero’s passions to not only make a difference in the world, but to define a new paradigm for accomplishment that is needed for cynicism to be extinguished for good and for the good of all people.

To understand the man that is Denoh Grear, you must also know his journey, because through the fire of life he has honed and developed a sense of love and compassion that is rare and cherished. Denoh is not just a man on a mission, for that would overly simplify his ultimate vision, he is a man who continues to discover and persuade through communication, in any form it will take; to wake up the world to an urgency that demands action and passion.

His vast interest and talent in the entertainment world could also not be ignored. Along with his father and some friends, he helped found Natural-Soul Entertainment, a multi faceted company that produces artists, live touring, educational efforts and public Relations duties, and front and center of that enterprise, while even serving proudly in Iraq is Denoh Grear.

Natural-Soul Entertainment was formed through the model of Intercultural and Interpersonal Communications. They combine the sciences of Communications, Sociology, Philosophy, and World and US History. The study of World Civilizations and Industrializing, and Urban Studies that helped form and guide the way they move forward to educate and empower.

Natural-Soul Entertainment has partnered with war survivors, musicians, historians, citizens and soldiers of West Africa, the United States and Iraq to show the world a therapeutic showcasing of Science, Media and Entertainment for PTSD.


Natural-Soul Entertainment is crossing racial lines, cultural lines and barriers using Spoken Word performance mixed with various forms of world music and video to gain the attention of millions.
Denoh Grear is performing while he is serving in Iraq and is introducing the Iraq Chronicles, a soon to be web community, to bases and the populations of the Middle East through Internet Marketing and by visiting bases and building relations as he travels the region

Denoh is a master networker. Natural-Soul Entertainment partners that hold key executive positions in the company are a product of cultural mixing and have international roots and origins. These partners have been affected by war their whole lives and want to leave their influence on the world as they were able to survive through their war zone journeys and are using Iraqi Chronicles as an influence by adding in their self expression and knowledge from their own personal journeys. This is to give a more diversified outlook on projects for Iraqi Chronicles.


Denoh Grear thinks constantly about what’s next. He doesn’t tire from what hasn’t happened and is fueled by what can happen.
His fervor for what he innately knows is critical, Denoh Grear inspires by his vision and leads by his gifts, but if we were to stop there, for most people that would be enough, but for him it is not, and the impetus of what truly drives him he may only know, but to talk to him, to be in his company, to hear his music, to experience his spoken word performance, to see him interview on camera, to watch him exude energy and positivism is unparalleled. And he’s just getting started.
