About Me

Demian was musically influenced at an early age by his father, a prominent studio musician in Chicago through out the 60s, 70s and 80s. "I remember accompanying him to recording sessions and sitting quietly while the band tracked." After attending the University of Miami, he moved to New York and hooked up with EMI artist Patti Rothberg, touring the world with bands like The Wallflowers, Chris Issak, and The Black Crowes. Back in NYC, he joined up with various local bands, immersing himself in songwriting and production. Most recently, Demian has entered the world of composition for TV and radio ant The Lodge, writing spots for Cuervo, Cotton Inc, Clean and Clear, Zales, McDonalds, Calloway, Eucerin, Old Navy, Chevy, Time Warner, Range Rover, Verizon, Kraft, Oreo DSRL and Dominos. He has played guitar for Alexa Ray Joel (yes, that Joel!) and can be heard on her first EP, Sketches. He did guitar, bass and production work for Virgin recording artist, Freddy Wexler, including work with producer Matt Wallace (Maroon 5, Faith no More, Train) "I want to keep working with great musicians and continue exploring the art and craft of good songwriting and recording!"
