"The build quality, reliability, and fidelity of Pig Hog cables are second to none. I have been using their instrument and microphone cables for years; and they have never let me down. They stand the road abuse perfectly and are wonderful in the studio too."

John DeMena is an award-winning rock singer, guitarist, and bassist from Los  Angeles who has worked with producers and musicians of Alice Cooper, Jane's  Addiction, and Jimmy Kimmel. His music has appeared on distinguished outlets such as MTV and Metal Hammer. His debut album “Dreams and Lies” was released on 3/3/23 and the opening track ‘I the People’ was included in Loudwire’s Weekly Wire Best 50 Rock & Metal Songs of that week’s playlist. 

Some of the benefits of today’s musical landscape is the breadth with which artists can record and produce their compositions, from famous acts to talented emerging artists. That’s certainly the case with John DeMena, who wrote and produced his debut album  

‘Dreams and Lies’ entirely by himself. As he points out, “after moving to Los Angeles and not being able to find anyone artistically aligned with me, I had to take a DIY approach and do everything myself. It was the only way forward.” For a couple of years, he wrote nonstop, picked other instruments, penned all lyrics, and used software to program drums and other instruments in pre-production before seeking out session players for this debut. John DeMena self-released an early mix of this album in 2020 that earned him two Hollywood Music in Media Awards nominations, caught the attention of several record labels, and earned him a deal with ADA (Warner) and an invitation to participate in a The Doors tribute compilation for which he covered the band’s iconic 1967 classic ‘People Are Strange’ a cover released by Rhino Records and featured on MTV Germany.
