With a deep-seated passion that engulfs his persona,
this young man stands out from the rest. With an
intense love and enthusiasm for every aspect of the
music business – from producing to songwriting to
deejaying to engineering – Demarco has his fingers on
the pulse of almost every genre of the infectious
rhythms of the world.
Whether it’s reggae, dancehall, hip-hop, R&B, Demarco
has written and produced for the best of them. Top
names like Olivia, Styles P and Sean Paul have
experienced his producing skills, while Bounty Killer
and others have put vocals to his lyrics…and in
between all that Demarco still finds time to do
combinations with other artistes and record his own
songs!
Born in Portmore, St. Catherine in 1982, Demarco is a
protégé of Ardenne High School. Growing up, he used to
‘play around’ on a sound he and his friends created
called Future Disco. It was during that time that he
found out he had a great love of music. That soon led
to his performing on almost every community event in
his Portmore area. At age 15 he would go to Cactus
nightclub and perform every chance he got.
In 1998, Demarco migrated to the United States…New
York to be exact. But he never lost his desire to be
involved in the music business.
He soon moved to Baltimore where he hooked up with a
friend who taught him the intricacies of creating
music by showing him how to mix, use the keyboard,
sequence…and all that complicated stuff.
Demarco was so excited about learning about this
other aspect of the music business that he was
determined to someday produce music. But with no funds
and just a dream, Demarco started doing whatever jobs
he could get in order to buy the needed equipment, one
piece at a time, to set up his own studio.
Soon he had all the equipment he needed to build
rhythms. And that he did…night and day, in between
jobs, not getting any sleep, or food for that
matter…sustaining himself with only the prospect of
creating a wicked riddim.
When he was through with each masterpiece, he would
sell the beat to rap and dancehall artistes and at
other times he gave them away in a bid to promote his
talent.
It worked! It really did! All that long, hard,
sleepless, foodless hours in his customized home
studio began to pay off. Demarco started to get
attention from artistes and managers who wanted him to
build rhythms for them. But with limited cash
resources, it was challenging to take his talent to
that other level. Little did he know that his luck was
about to change.
A friend who was quite impressed with his talent
introduced him to Star Kutt Music. The principals
behind the company checked out his work and
immediately decided that he was worth the investment.
Demarco has not looked back since. Demarco and Star
Kutt became synonymous. As impossible as it sounds, he
began working harder than before, putting out a lot of
boom rhythms in keeping up with his full calendar of
commissions. He created rhythms for Styles P and Free
from 106 & Park, as well as having two rhythms on
Elephant Man’s ‘Good 2 Go’ album. He also made
numerous beats alongside The Soul Diggaz who are
signed to Missy Elliot and were involved in the
production of her last three albums.
In between creating rhythms, Demarco found the time
to pen lyrics for other artistes including Bounty
Killer (‘Warlord Reloaded’ and ‘Hey Sexy Baby’). He
also lent his vocals on a combination with Bounty
Killer titled ‘Chap’, as well as Sizzla titled ‘Kings
and Queens’.
The talented young man has also done combinations
with Olivia of G-Unit and Jabba of Hot 97 titled ‘
Lighters ’, and Styles P from the Lox titled ‘Tell
Them Again’.
But for all his impressive inroads into the rapping
arena, Demarco has yet to make a strong impact on the
dancehall scene, especially in his homeland of
Jamaica. That’s why he is now in Jamaica…and will be
here for a while…doing all it takes to ‘buss out’ big
time on the scene.
While in the tropical paradise he will be focusing on
performing on quite a few events, putting out some
music videos and, of course, still doing what he loves
best – building rhythms.
Presently he has three songs on the Star Kutt label,
which are currently in heavy rotation on the airwaves
– ‘Kings and Queens’, ‘Da Look Deh’ and ‘Lighters’.
Also on the streets are the singles ‘In Da Streetz’
(Mikey Bennet’s Grafton label), ‘Get Behind Me Satan’
(Clive Hunt’s Fusion Island Production) and ‘More
Life’ on Scatta’s Inevitable riddim which will be
released on the Kings of Kings label.
As his Star Kutt management states, Demarco is a
young man with exceptional inborn talent. There is no
limit to what he can do and what he can become.
