It’s about making people feel new things. I try to keep things fresh and hip, develop my own style and set new trends by using different genres of the musical vocabulary, while also making my own concepts work.” “SUMMER MADNESS”, whose widespread urban radio airplay success throughout the U.S. and Chicago area helped bring Daemyon to GRP Records President, Tommy LiPuma and Universal Records attention, is a fresh, hip and funky, take on Kool & The Gang’s early Seventies, feel good smash.

In the tradition of the truly great and expressive musical spirits he is an a eclectic mix whose work includes Hendrix-like, beautifully thick-toned chord work, guitar solo work with nods to Joe Satriani, and Jimmy Page.
