Demun is a rapper, singer, songwriter and independent artistwhose 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 itto be unique, it was just, me. I grew up surrounded by hayfields listening to N.W.A. and OzzyOsbourne. If you throw that in a blender, Demun Jones is what you get. Once I’d lived a bit, losta bit, won some, and experienced my fair share, I could tell my own story. I’d never been toCompton, but I had an idea of what it was like from listening to West Coast rap. So, that inspiredme, ‘What if I write about living in Jones County in a creative way?’ I’m giving you countrystories told through the lens of rap music.”Demun grew up the third of six children, with two older brothers who first introduced him to themusic of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and AC/DC – who he experienced as hisfirst live concert. His mom would spin the classics of the Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, Jim Croceand Jones County’s very own, Otis Redding.
