MySpace a place for friends

I was born September 23rd in Queens NY. At a young age I started acting, modeling and singing. It was then that I knew that I wanted do something in the entertainment field when I grew up.

At thirteen I 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 and 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 four other producers which was a great way to get different input to shape my unique style. After two bad experiences with managers, I decided to go it alone until I could find proper representation. My drive to make music and eventually get signed, led to the completion of my first EP, Genesis which debuted September 16 '08! The first single, "Work it Out," is already making some waves.

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 and Hip-Hop influences. 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.

Music is my life and I want to share it with the world. I write and co-produce all of my songs and even feature my Japanese language skills in a track called "Ride it (Sore Ni Notte)" from the Genesis EP. My love of dance is also reflected in the EP and you can bet there will be interesting choreography in the upcoming videos.
I'm a singer, model,dancer and actress. Get ready for the quadruple threat of 2009 and beyond....... -Demi
