Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar30 Loka 2024

Episode #328: Demi the Daredevil TALKS Origin Story, “American Zombie” & Songwriting

It is a thrill to welcome alternative pop artist Demi the Daredevil to Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

Hailing from El Paso, Texas, Jeff Azar, AKA Demi the Daredevil, went from being the drummer to being a singer after the original lead singer, Jovan Ortiz, suddenly passed away. With this loss and his mental health struggles as a catalyst, Jeff reimagined the band’s identity into an evocative blend of theatrical alt-pop, haunting soundscapes, and dark, introspective lyrics, creating anthems for other misfits who feel lost, misunderstood, and searching for their unique voice.

With influences ranging from Tim Burton to Edgar Allan Poe, Demi the Daredevil’s music delves into themes of identity, mental illness, existentialism, and the complexities of the human experience. This gives the listener deep, relatable meaning, creating a safe space and community for the underdog. Not only does the brand avatar reflect the audience’s identity, but it also offers a signature allure for collaborations and partnerships.

He has garnered over 13 million Spotify streams and over 800 fan art pieces from the “devilins” (his fanbase). Buzzfeed and CBS have profiled Demi, while several songs, such as “Call in Dead,” have been featured on Trebel’s homepage and Pandora’s “AMP Fresh Cuts” playlist.

On this episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Demi the Daredevil spoke about his moniker’s origin story, songwriting, and his latest single: “American Zombie,” which featured his tourmates TikTok powerhouse RudyWade, Filipino-American Ethan Gander, and Nashville’s alternative hip-hop darling Mitchel Dae.
