JOHNNY DEMARCO Johnny DeMarco is a songwriter/performer who understands the value of a well crafted song.

With success on radio in the USA, Canada and Europe, the single "I'm on Fire" from the CD "If These Walls Could Talk" also landed international success on the USA television show Higher Ground. Delivered with emotion, passion and intensity, much thought is given to the importance of the lyrical content and it's message. Although the songs have a certain urgency about the subject matter, making the connection with the listener/audience is of most importance. As Johnny points out, "songwriting is a gift and in this ever changing and challenging world of music, I'm inspired to keep it real, fresh and current". Johnny DeMarco was born and raised in beautiful Vancouver, Canada and started performing at the tender age of 13. Johnny realized when he started performing some of his own originals, audiences showed interest in his music and soon it became his vocation. His recent release "everything matters" was recorded with and features some of Canada's finest musicians. Co-producer Jeff Neill from Streetheart and of Jimmy Barnes fame, states "I knew from the moment Johnny played me his tunes on his acoustic, that they were undeniably great songs". When not writing music Johnny is a crusader for children's charities and has travelled to Brazil and Africa to help children living with HIV/AIDS. "If the belief is, all that is created coexists within the universe, then there is a deep rooted knowing, that life is a gift, love is the answer and……………….."everything matters".
