Demonterious Lawrence
"My days are often a whirlwind of sessions, rehearsals, sound checks and live performances and Pig Hog Cables allow me to just plug in and go! They are magnificently constructed to sound amazingly great and are incredibly strong and durable. Never having to worry about my cables is priceless, and they look good too! There isn’t another cable that comes close!!"
Music left its first footprint in the heart of Demonterious at the age of six through the church his family attended in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. He was constantly surrounded by live instrumentation and musical performances that created a great desire to play an instrument. Drums were his initial instrument of choice and he honed his craft by playing locally for churches, plays and social events.
In 1995 he sought a new challenge and began to learn the bass guitar. Learning this instrument gave him an added advantage because he could now have a first-hand understanding of the two key components of the rhythm section. While still playing in churches and keeping to his gospel roots, the bass guitar gave Demonterious the opportunity to expand his musical knowledge and versatility in other musical genres such as hip-hop, r&b, jazz and rock.
Lawrence is a graduate of Clark Atlanta University with Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Computer Science. He uses his technical aptitude to enhance his understanding of music and support his creativity through musical technology.
His gift and passion for music has given him the opportunity to travel and perform throughout the country and abroad to such places as Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Poland, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania and many other places throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East. He has served as a cultural ambassador to the United States facilitating workshops on American music through the American Music Abroad program with Jazz at Lincoln Center.
His works as an Atlanta based session bassist were recently celebrated as his musical contributions helped the album “Good Kid M.A.A.D. City” by Kendrick Lamar sell over a million copies and receive a nomination for album of the year at the 2014 Grammy Awards. He has also contributed in the last few years as a bassist and composer for two other Grammy nominated artists, Anthony David and Phife from A Tribe Called Quest.
Lawrence is presently the bassist at Ray Of Hope Christian Church in Atlanta, Georgia and travels frequently as the bassist for Anthony David and independent soul artist Avery*Sunshine. He has also worked with such artists as Angie Stone, Marian Mereba, N’Dambi, Zo!, Carl Thomas, Yahzarah of The Foreign Exchange, Keyshia Cole, Bobby Valentino, Donnie McClurkin and Dorinda Clark Cole. When he is not performing, he works as a producer and composer for DETOXXX Music.
