You heard the classic story about the little girl who grew up in church singing old gospel hymns? Well Demi wasnt that little girl - she was the one sitting on the outside during service singing the latest R&B hits that were on the radio. The foundation of Demis musical background was instilled by her early involvement in the church. From that foundation she developed her unique southern tone and she has honed her voice into a fine musical instrument.
Even though she is an excellent singer - her first love remains in writing. Demis writing style combines realism of everyday life with the very essence of what dreams are made of - and melts them together into one concept. She translates voices of the urban youth into poetic phrases - that are understood by the masses.
Her album d-day has a diverse set of hybrid genres. Demi works with three principal production companies: Mad Villain Productions, Ill Tribe productions and No Exit Productions (of which she is a partner). The three groups work together to marry the music to the words. She also teamed up with Dexter Redding (son of Otis Redding) to produce the first song on the album. Each producer has a unique style of production which compliments Demis song writing style and diverse subject matter.
The primary vision of d-day is to expose the music to the industry. In the fast paced world of the music industry many characteristics have been lost to cookie cutter ways of producing and writing. This album transcends that concept. d-day takes southern soul not to a another level but back to what it originated as - a voice of the people by the people.
