DIGITAL THUMBNAILS
theDA - I
I began went with some Stevie Wonder inspired vintage designs as I thought that style was inline with your your comments/notions on the "feel" of your music. I also was inspired from designs by the rock-hip hop group Linkedin Park that I am a huge of personally.
theDA - II
This design on the right has a strong iconic presence, the abstract nature of the DA forming the cross I believe re-enforces perhaps the underlining strength of your music which is due to God. It's clean and can work in many colors.
theDA - III
This design is of interest as the cross is there with the DA and forms an abstract image of a person. Perhaps an angel. Which to seem may symbolize and "uplifting" feel notion or ora to the individual and his music.

theDA - IV
This design starts to explore the abstract graffiti notion. 
theDA - V
My favorite of the designs - I love this as this has a more modern feel to it. The D in gray and the A in white. I feel symbolizes the shades of gray of your music, hinting as its dimension and depth. I like the curve as it gives it a touch of "funk" as in it's clean and modern but there is a hint of something else so "pay attention"
EXPANSION OF V
We next had to explore colors
