DEMETRE feels that by listening and studying different artists and there varied music styles helps him to diversify his own music styles. He always believes in improvising.
"This new album is an ECLECTIC FUSION of various influences that I developed overtime.
This does not include the use of Bouzouki or my vocal singing. It is a complete opposite of the music
I have been playing. It is a true sign a diversification and expansion of my musical career. This music expresses alot of feeling and mood through sound."
