About Dot Demo

Dot Demo was born and raised in the South Bronx, where he was inspired to write music and develop his entrepreneurial talents. As the birthplace of Hip Hop, Bronx, New York has produced some of the greatest artists of all time, and Dot Demo’s destiny is to be among the legends. The multi-talented lyricist is preparing for the release of his album 93HUNNIT via Viper Records in partnership with his own Ultra Nostra Records, and the elevation of Dot’s incredible talent is evident in the project.

Lauded by veterans in Hip Hop such as Lord Finesse of DITC, Dot Demo has been developing a lane that sets him apart from the pack of Millennial artists on the airwaves. Dot’s catalogue combines a diverse range of sonic and ideological influences, such as the history of neighborhood legends like Big Pun, who grew up in Soundview Houses; the skillful jazz sampling of Detroit beatmaker J Dilla; and the eccentric soul of Erykah Badu, fused with a unique, versatile flow. Dot Demo’s lyrics weave together street politics, dark theories and enlightening perspectives.
