Demo Ramirez - October 25th, 2018

Demo is a Hip-Hop artist from the SouthSide Chicago. Born Alexis Ramirez, he was exposed to Hip-Hop at a young age. The environment he lived in was riddled with gangs and drugs, sadly he was easily drawn by the street way of life. His early years were spent gang-banging in the streets of Little Village (a neighbourhood in the SouthSide of Chicago). Music became an influence and soon he began writing his own lyrics. He was known to freestyle raps on corners for his friends. At age 13 he was taken to Radioarte (a local radio station) and freestyled on live air and received great feedback. As a freshman he freestyle for No I.D. (president of Def Jam) when he visited his high school as a guest speaker and received a standing ovation. Demo would then focus on music and leave his life of crime. He toured Mexico and performed in cities such as Puebla, Valle de Chalco, Ciudad Neza and Mexico City including others. He is an established artist in Chicago, known as one of the most refreshing talents to rise up in the Latino scene. Radio One Chicago airs live every Thursday from 6p to 8p cst on 88.7f/WLUW-FM
