Looks like a few have even made it into here.

Backstory · Daemon Cross

Before the light.

Originally from San Diego, CA, Daemon has performed both as a solo artist and in bands ranging from metal to hip-hop until finding a sound uniquely his influenced by both and everything in between. He has taken center stage in numerous shows from San Diego to Grand Rapids to his current home in Kalamazoo.

As an artist, Daemon’s chief passion has been to convey a sense of what is real, deep, grueling, and beautifully broken in our experience.

His music reflects that intent, filtered through his own struggles with self and a long journey from making his bed under a highway overpass to living on stages, sharing what got him there and what still tries to pull him back.

From the time he began writing songs at 17 he’s wished to speak his experience his pain his longings and his liberation into existence in a way true enough to, one day, have his music do what the songs of so many others have done for him:

Let them know they’re not alone

Spooky giving a knowing wink

A little mischief in the woods
