DeMarkus Lewis, a driving force behind today's house music sound and key player in the evolution of its future, has come a long way in the last fifteen years. From his start as a dj in 1990 to the beginning of his production career in 2000, he had already established himself as a Dallas favorite.
It all started on his 25th birthday when he met his long time goal of signing his first record deal by the age of 25. After that, his dedication grew and he continued to top himself release after release. Throughout the beginning of his production career he had created his own sound with signature beats, chord structures and instrument choices. Releases on labels such as Moods n Grooves, Bluem, Roam, and Alluv Recordings established DeMarkus as a respected deep house artist. Then in an attempt to expand his production tastes in the height of the tech-house rise, he released 'Can Do What You Do' on the Fuzzy Slippers EP on Flat n Round a track that definitely pushed its self-entitled statement. Not only had he proven he could capture the techier edge of some of tech-house's leading artists, but he had done it remarkably well. Suddenly DeMarkus was receiving heightened media exposure and commissioned for work on a wide range of labels including Nightshift, Vista, Brique Rouge, Grab, Nordic Trax, Freaked and Guesthouse.
