From the start, Demp never wanted to just settle for being a DJ.
Every move made was a calculated step to bring him closer to embrace a larger reputation and bigger bank. “I’m just good at what I do,” explains Demp. “I can always do more than what I’m doing, though. Like Jay-Z said, I treat everything like my first project. Somebody is always there; ready to take your position.” With this winning attitude, Demp has won numerous awards including the TJ’s DJ’s Tastemakers Award and he was nominated for DJ of the year at Radio One’s 2005 Dirty Awards.
While on the road, Demp constantly met new people and maintained contacts because he understands the true power of networking and promotion. In 1997, he decided to have a week long celebration in Tallahassee to mark his birthday of January 9 and invite his new connections. Thus, Demp Week was born. The Nappy Roots, Lil’ Flip, Lil’ Jon & the East Side Boyz, 112, Twista, movie maven Lisa Raye, George Clinton, Trick Daddy, Juvenile, Field Mob, Jae Millz, Red Rat, So So Def, the And 1 Mix Tape Ballers, and the FUBU owners have all come to T-town for the annual celebration of a week full of events including a charity all-star basketball game, a golfing tournament, and star studded parties held each evening. He was also previously heard on the community station WVHT 105.7, then Clear Channel’s 100.7 the Beat to follow up his radio beginnings on Florida State’s WVFS 89.7.
Demp continues to tour, previously spinning for Lil’ Flip all over the country and Europe. Together, they even made a pit stop performance on BET’s “106 & Park” for a live performance of the number one video slot ‘Game Over’ & number 3 ‘Sunshine’. Demp was also seen on BET’s Access Granted once with Lil’ Flip and another occasion with the NFL’s Clinton Portis, BET’s Rap City as a guest DJ with Big Tigger as well as MTV’s Hard Rock Live, Carson Daly, and TRL. Currently, DEMP is on the road with David Banner and Trick Daddy. He even makes an appearance in the hood classic DVD, “Trick Daddy: Uncut.” However, artists are not the only people he DJs for, he also spins hot fire for NFL star parties such as the Washington Redskins’ Clinton Portis and the New England Patriots’ Randy Moss. This paved the way for yet another Demp appearance on BET during their show “Madd Sports” as well as the promos to announce the episode.
