Rebound • Demun was first drawn to the music world at the age of 3. No remembering which came first dancing or walking, his mother would put on records of artist ranging from The Commodores, Hall & Oates, and Marvin Gaye to Smoky Robinson, Air Supply, and Michael Jackson. He would dance to all of them. After seeing Michael Jackson dance, Demun was changed forever. He would learn and mimic Jacksons movements to perfecton and perform them to his family. Demun's first big performance, at age 8, was break dancing at a talent show in the cafeteria of Gray Elementary School. In his teen years, Demun pursued his passion for dance and music becoming a member of the dance group PSD-Power Supply Dancers. They performed at big festivals and concerts, opening for artist such as Run DMC, C&C Music Factory, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince to name a few. After a brief stint as a background dancer for a rap group based out of Atlanta called Prime Suspect, comprised of Danny Boone and Steaknife, Demun was motivated by the skill and precision of their writing and performance. It helped give him the courage to make a life for himself in music by beginning to write his own songs. Over the years, Demun has worked closely with many artist and producers that span the music world. After 10 years e • Every corner of the country tells its own story as part of the larger American experience. Nestled in the heart of Georgia, occupying approximately 395 sq. miles lies Jones County, the place Demun Jones proudly calls home. Demun is a rapper, singer, songwriter and independent artist whose music is infused with rustic instrumentals, hip-hop fundamentals and exceptional lyricism. “I found my individuality by rapping over the acoustic guitar,” he notes. “I didn’t even mean for it to be unique, it was just, me. I grew up surrounded by hayfields listening to N.W.A. and Ozzy Osbourne. If you throw that in a blender, Demun Jones is what you get. Once I’d lived a bit, lost a bit, won some, and experienced my fair share, I could tell my own story. I’d never been to Compton, but I had an idea of what it was like from listening to West Coast rap. So, that inspired me, ‘What if I write about living in Jones County in a creative way?’ I’m giving you country stories told through the lens of rap music.” Demun grew up the third of six children, with two older brothers who first introduced him to the music of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and AC/DC - who he experienced as his first live concert. His mom would spin the classics of the Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, Jim Croce and Jones Co |
