With decades of musical experience under his belt, Brandon Wayne DeMaris is no stranger to the ins and outs of the music business and his company, DeMaris Entertainment, has become an industry staple in Austin, Texas
Early on, Brandon Wayne DeMaris aspired to become a rock star, after graduating from Berklee College of Music, but life had other plans for this talented artist. He began to see the reality of how very few musicians actually earn a living from their music and decided that the lifestyle of a professional musician was not the right path for him.
As a talent buyer and concert producer, DeMaris became focused on getting musicians in front of the right audience in order to excel in their careers. His production company, DeMaris Entertainment, quickly became an integral part of helping musicians break through to the next level of their careers.
Amidst the swirl of his expanding business, DeMaris continued writing music and using songwriting as an outlet for self-expression and a form of therapy. Over time, DeMaris began to realize he wanted to bring his music out of the dark and share it with the world. After helping countless musicians, DeMaris has decided it’s time to pursue his passion and embark on his own musical journey, releasing his debut record, ‘Brave Bones’.
Eight years in the making, DeMaris admits the record has been a true labor of love, passion, and devotion on the part of many influential musicians and industry professionals. The album is sonically, thematically and stylistically influenced by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. “We used their music and style as a sound template throughout the entire recording process,” explains DeMaris.
