Demola

Demola (also known as "Demola the violinist) is a musician, singer-songwriter, a multi-instrumentalist, record producer and a Multi-Genre Violinist. Demola was born in Lagos, Nigeria. His love for music started at a very tender age, stemming from listening to different genres of popular and contemporary music by music-loving parents. The native Lagosian turned Houstonian is a multi-hyphenate in his own right. He is one of the first artists of his kind fusing the various timbres of AFRO-BEAT, the colorful sounds of Reggae, a bevy of buoyant Pop tones and the animated bounce of Hip-Hop while coherently blending it all together with the euphonious melodies of his violin. As with many legends in the making, Demola cites luminary icons like Bob Marley , Fela Kuti , Prince, King Sunny Ade , James Brown, George Benson and Michael Jackson to pull artistic inspiration from. To add to his already boundless artistry, Demola's instrumental proficiencies stretch from the violin to piano, keyboard, guitar, viola, djembe, mandolin, ukulele and conga. His various musical talents have gotten him recruited to play with String Quartets, oratorios, Violin Concertos and as a soloist with chamber groups. He's also been sought after to lend his skills to a number of household names like M.I, Ebenezer Obey, Olamide(Baddo), Ron Kennoly, Don Moen, Panam Percy Paul, Dare Art Alade, Jeremiah Gyang, Ayo Bankolejnr, Thomas Kanitz, Tunde Jegede, Benogbuewi, Mark O Connor, Cobhams Asuquo, WoleOni, Yinka Davids, Mike Abdul and Dbanj. A year after the success of his debut single "Say Yes" in 2017, he released his second single, a remix to his popular hit "Light Up" featuring AfroPop sensation, Wande Coal. The hit garnered over 100k views and counting on YouTube while making rounds on Top International TV and radio stations globally. Following the release of his latest singles "Put It On Me" and "Give Me Dat", Demola partnered with Management Strategist Toyin Okusaga to produce Demolaive, the artist's debut concert that featured local Houston performers on the rise. The event was sold out and so well received among fans that the show will segue into a full tour to begin next year. Demola has begun working on his highly anticipated debut album slated for release in Spring 2020. The singer says to expect surprise features from a few top international artists.
