BORN IN OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA DEMIR BAILEY HAS BEEN INFLUENCED BY MUSIC ALL OF HIS LIFE. "I GREW UP LISTENING TO ALL THE WEST COAST VETS. 2PAC, E-40, MAC MALL, CELLY CEL, MAC DRE, TOO SHORT, DRU DOWN, RICHIE RICH... SNOOP DOGG, DOGG POUND, N.W.A ETC... I'M MISSING ALOT OF NAMES, BUT I WAS DEFINETLY BROUGHT UP ON WEST COAST HIP-HOP" DEMIR HAS BEEN THRU HIS SHARE OF TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS THRU HIS LIFE, BUT USES MUSIC AS HIS OUTLET. "EVERYBODY GOT PROBLEMS, SOME WORSE THAN OTHERS. I JUST PUT GOD FIRST MAN AND I HAVEN'T FAILED YET". AFTER SPENDING SOME TIME IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, DEMIR MOVED BACK TO THE BAY AREA. IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT BAY AREA & L.A. HIP-HOP WAS ON TOP OF THE WORLD AT THE TIME. BEING AROUND THAT KIND OF SCENE REALLY INSPIRED DEMIR TO DREAM OF A MUSIC CARRER AT AN EARLY AGE. " I ALWAYS GOT PROPS IN SCHOOL FROM WRITING, NOW I JUST WANT TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL" SAYS DEMIR. IN HIS 11th GRADE YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL, DEMIR'S MOTHER PACKED HER FAMILY UP AND MOVED TO VIRGINIA AFTER A BRIEF STINT IN WHICH HE LIVED IN FLORIDA FOR A FEW YEARS. "YEA NO MATTER WHERE I GO CALIFORNIA IS ALWAYS GONNA BE HOME. WHEN I FIRST MOVED DOWN SOUTH I REALLY MISSED THE WEST COAST MAN BUT I EVENTUALLY GOT OVER IT AND ADAPTED TO THE SITUATION. MY MOTHER KNEW WHAT WAS BEST FOR HER FAMILY, AND SHE DID IT, PLUS I GOT MAD LOVE FOR DUVAL COUNTY BCUZ IT KINDA HELP MOLD THE PERSON I AM TODAY". THE MOVE TO VIRGINIA WOULD PROVE TO BE EQUALLY DEMANDING. " I THOUGHT VA WAS THE SOUTH BEFORE I MOVED HERE. BUT WHEN I GOT THERE IT WAS NOTHING LIKE GEORGIA, FLORIDA, OR ANYWHERE ELSE DOWN SOUTH. THAT SHIT WAS LIKE THE EAST COAST MIXED WITH SOME SOUTHEN SWAG, SO I HAD TO ADAPT AGAIN TO A DIFFERENT ENVIROMENT". FITTING IN WOULDN'T BE EASY AT FIRST, BUT DEMIR EVENTUALLY GOT THRU HIS STRUGGLES. "I HAD TO FIGHT FOR RESPECT AT FIRST, YOU KNOW CATS WANNA TRY THE NEW KID NAH MEAN. AFTER LIKE MY FIRST YEAR IN VA, IT BEGAN TO FEEL LIKE HOME". JUST LIKE THE WEST COAST IN THE 1990'S, VIRGINIA MUSIC SCENE WAS STARTING TO BOOM. WITH ARTIST SUCH AS TREY SONGZ, CHRIS BROWN, THE CLIPSE, THE NEPTUNES, MISSY, TIMBALAND, AMONG OTHERS... VA IS QUICKLY BECOMING A HOT SPOT HERE IN THE U.S. "PEOPLE REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW MANY RAPPERS, SINGERS, AND ATHLETES ARE FROM THIS AREA MAN... VA LOCKING STUFF DOWN". AFTER A BRIEF BREAK FROM MUSIC, AFTER DEMIR GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL HE BEGAN TAKING HIS MUSIC CARRER VERY SERIOUSLY. "I KNEW I HAD TALENT, BUT I WANTED TO SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE THOUGHT I HAD TALENT TOO." DEMIR WOULD EVENTUALLY PUT OUT TWO SOLO MIXTAPES LOCALY WHICH GOT SOME ATTENTION IN VRGINA AREA. ONLY WHEN HE TEAMED WITH NY UNDERGROUND ARTIST FRESH MONEY TO FORM THE COUNCIL MIXTAPE, PEOPLE REALLY STARTED TAKING NOTICE FROM EVERYWHERE. " I AINT TALK TO FRESH IN A MIN, BUT WE DEFINITELY MADE A CLASSIC MIXTAPE, AND WE GONNA DO IT AGAIN." NOW DEMIR IS WORKING ON HIS NEW SOLO MIXTAPE PROPERLY TITLED "VILIFORNIA". " I NAMED IT VILIFORNIA CUZ THAT DEFINES ME. I GOT A WEST COAST HOME, AND A EAST COAST HOME. THEY BOTH ARE HOME I REP BOTH THE 7 CITIES AND THE BAY. I WON'T SCREAM ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER". THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FIRST SINGLE "LET ME IN" IS ALREADY GAINING MOMENTUM LOCALLY. AND WAS PRODUCED BY LOCAL VIRGINIA PRODUCER T. STEVES. " I GOT PRODUCTION FROM UP AND COMING PRODUCERS IN VA LIKE STEVES, VERNON, AND JON VEGAS". THE SECOND SINGLE IS TITLE " MAIN EVENT" PRODUCED BY ST. LOUIS PRODUCER WEE DOG. " THE HOMIE FROM THE LOU CAME THRU AND DROP FIRE ON ME, AND I HAD TO RIP IT" LAUGHS DEMIR. WITH ALL THE ATTENTION FROM LABELS DEMIR STILL KEEPS A LEVEL HEAD. " I'VE BEEN BLESSED TO BE CONTACTED BY A FEW LABELS MAJOR AND INDEPEDENT. BUT I WILL PRAY ON THE SITUATION AND I WILL MAKE THE BEST DECISION FOR ME AND MY FAMILY". THE STILL UNSIGNED DEMIR HOPES TO ONE DAY CAPTIVATE THE WORLD WITH HIS MUSIC. "I WILL JUST TAKE IT DAY BY DAY, AND IF GOD WANTS ME TO HAVE IT THEN IT WILL COME TO ME EVENTUALLY"BIO
