Demarco started his career as a selector, mixing vinyl, getting inspired by the likes of Fame FM deejay Collin Hinds; Alric & Boyd, and later on when, he decided to respond to his real vocation as a deejay, he has been inspired by another legend, that inspired many, Bounty Killer. The Alliance’s General was one of his idols growing up, and later on he would help him with his first music release, a single titled ‘Chap’.
Demarco is also a well respected and rounded music producer, he credits Dave Kelly, as one of his main motivators as far as production goes.
Around 1999 Demarco moved to the States and learned how to use a drum machine and started buying music equipment, and studying music production. Shortly after he was signed to Star Kutt Music, where he wrote and produced hits for the likes of Styles P, Missy Elliot, Foxy Brown, Kat Deluna, Olivia, and many others.
From there he started being popular in his own homeland of Jamaica delivering a tune from Sizzla that was shortly followed by a string of super popular hits like “Falling Soldiers.” “Standing Soldier,” “True Friend,” “Sort Dem Out” and “Duppy Know Who Fi Frighten” “i Love My Life” among many others.
While cementing his name as an artist on the dancehall scene, behind the scene he was also continuing to produce and craft some of the best dancehall and reggae riddims.

Busy Signal’s song “Whine Pon Di Edge,” Busy Signal, “Unknown Number”. Charly Black “Party Animal” just to mention few, but there are many riddim where he did not yet get credit.
Talking to the Jamaican press, when asked why he took so long to drop his album, Demarco said that now it’s just the right time for him, all the right things have been put in place and now he also knows the business better.
