We had a chat with Demo Taped, an up and coming artist to look out for 

Adam Alexander, who goes by Demo Taped is a 19-year-old Atlanta based artist that has already released various singles, and an EP titled Heart. Adam started making music early on and began producing music in his bedroom with Garageband when he was 9. Demo Taped has also toured with the likes of WET and was recently picked to remix tracks for Sylvan Esso. His latest single Insecure (listen here) was released in September, it features his dad on bass and an organ recorded in his grandfather's church. Demo Taped will be releasing an EP in 2018.

When did you start making music, and what made you start?

I started making music pretty early on. My parents had me taking piano lessons at age four. I grew up going to my grandfather’s church every Sunday and watching my dad plays bass in the band. He really introduced me to the musicians he grew up listening to and I really didn't branch out and listen to many new artists for a while. After piano, my parents bought me a guitar and that’s when I started listening to Jimi Hendrix. I was maybe eight years old at this point. I was really kind of this outsider kid that didn't quite fit in but I had friends. I was constantly told I “didn’t sound Black” and was made fun of for not being super knowledgeable about Rap and Hip Hop. I think that’s why I was really drawn to Hendrix. Whenever I was made fun of for listening to rock and folk music, I would talk about Hendrix and no one could say anything. I also read up on the genre more and started to point to the many black pioneers that made rock and roll possible. I felt normal when I listened to his music and so I started listening to the words more and eventually started writing. My parents bought me my first computer when I was nine and from there I started making things in Garageband.

Has the Atlanta music scene influenced you?

I’d say It’s influenced my mentality. Everyone is working hard in Atlanta. The art scene is thriving. You kind of see the work ethic that others have, and you're forced to step back and reevaluate your process and how much time you're spending on your art.

Where does the name Demo Taped come from?

There was a point in time where I was looking up different labels and how the whole process of sending in demos worked. I realized it was pretty much a dead process and a lot of demos/submissions probably get tossed. I wanted to take something associated with not being heard/having no voice (a demo tape) and make it my name and my voice.

Has music helped you overcome depression and anxiety?

Music helps me for sure. When I write your feelings, fears, and questions down, I feel better. Getting thoughts out of your head and voicing them is important. I’m oddly more comfortable expressing my deepest feelings in a song than in a conversation.

Lyrically, what is your latest single Insecure about?

Insecure is about the mind playing tricks on itself. It’s about the fear of making your feelings for someone known because your insecurities are holding you back. Sometimes, I let my view of myself stop me from even trying to initiate a potentially good relationship.

What was the recording process like for Insecure, how long did it take, and how did the idea come about?

I was in NY for three days working with YEBBA. She provided background vocals. Go listen to her song “Evergreen”. It will change you. Anyway, we were in the studio just talking about anxiety and different parts of it and we ended up talking about Insecurities. I pretty much just started talking about how I stop myself from trying in a romantic situation because I make myself believe that no one could be interested in me. We talked about it more and I started to see it’s a universal thing. From there, I recreated a sample I got from Frank Dukes with YEBBA and Pete Cafarella on keys. At this point, I had the idea for what the song should be about, but I was really focused on production. One night I called Ben Abraham, who is an incredible songwriter, and we sent melody and lyrical ideas back and forth via Voice Memos and wrote the song. After New York, I came back to Atlanta and worked out of my bedroom studio to finish the track. I recorded my dad on Bass. James Barrett Jr., who did live drums for the song, sent me several different passes of drum recordings and I arranged those. The last thing the track needed was organ. I ended up going to my grandfather’s church with Paul Anderson and we recorded the organ there, on the Hammond B3.

I really like the artwork for Insecure, and all the other tracks you have released do you design it, or are you involved in that process?

Thank you! The artwork for Insecure was designed by the incredibly talented Savana Ogburn. We’re on the same wavelength, I feel. I’ll tell her a weird vague idea and she’ll take it and fully flesh it out and make it beautiful. Big shout out to her!  All the artwork before Stay, I made personally. I love the visual medium so I’ll always be involved in some way.

How has your sound evolved since you released your debut EP Heart in 2015?

I’d say that I’m just exploring. I’ll always be exploring. The thing about Heart that most people don't know is that it was completely and totally meant for one person. I wasn't going to release it. I was very influenced by artists I was listening to at the time. With this new EP, I kind of sequestered myself. I didn’t listen to many artists and when I did, It was older music. I feel that this upcoming EP truly represents me, my thoughts, and the sounds I enjoy.

What can we expect from your EP coming out later this year? Is it finished?

The EP is done. :) It will be out early 2018.

Who are your favorite new artists?

Really digging Steve Lacy, Standing On the Corner, Billie Eilish, Rex Orange County, YEBBA (Big shoutout), Wafia (Also Big shoutout), and a bunch more. So much good music right now.
