At age thirteen I discovered my love for music and wrote my first two songs, “Hair” and “Beauty Queen.” Being a girly-girl, I wrote happy pop songs about pretty things but eventually dove into exploring different styles of music. I even got a karaoke machine to practice singing. Later I discovered one of my all time favorite bands, Garbage. Shirley Manson was a voice and force to be reckoned with and I wanted to be like her. I was sixteen with a dream of music and fame. It wasn’t until 2007 that I got into a studio to learn about recording and production. I worked with a guy named Milton in the Bronx, NY. He taught me almost everything I know. At our first session he had me write and arrange a song in 30 minutes. We recorded it the same night. He couldn't believe I had never recorded before. Since then I have worked with about six other producers, which was a great way to get different input to shape my unique style. My drive to make music and eventually get signed, led to the completion of my first EP, Genesis, which debuted in September ‘08. I wrote and co-produced all of the songs and even feature my Japanese language skills in a track called "Ride it (Sore ni Notte)." Genesis spawned four singles and three music videos so far. My music and videos have been featured on various Radio, internet and television outlets including: Blogtalk Radio, UCLA Radio, KTU.com, Z100.com, McDonalds Time Sq, Toronto TV and WPIX morning news. Besides Garbage, I am heavily influenced by: Gwen Stefani, Madonna, Pink, Cyndi Lauper, Blondie, The Sounds, and Surferosa. My style of music is very unique due to my multi-faceted taste. I infuse Pop/Rock with Electronica. I'm a genre bender and that is what sets me apart from other artists. Demi is not a cookie cutter pop singer, rather, an ingenuitive artist that sees the need for something new and interesting. I Recently I release my second EP, “Femme Fatale,” in late 2010. My video for my second single, “Shadow Dancer,” is one of the 1st 3D Music Videos. I have performed at venues such as: NJ Bears Stadium, Trash Bar, Don Hills, Poisson Rouge and the NYC Marathon. Besides my music, I keep busy by writing for other artists, licensing, dancing, acting and modeling.
