Demo Taped
Artist
Demo Taped, born Adam Alexander, is an electronic artist and singer-songwriter from Atlanta. His name comes from the idea of “something that doesn’t get heard, or gets set aside, like demos that get sent into labels.”
Taped released his first project, Heart EP, as a junior in high school but began performing music much earlier in his grandfather’s church choir. Eventually, as his music started to gain popularity, Taped’s high school “told me to leave because they said I should be pursuing music.” Since then Taped signed to 300 Entertainment and toured with NAO.
Demo cites his dad as one of his biggest musical influencers, but also artists like Herbie Hancock, Spazzkid, and Flying Lotus.
Taped told Creative Loafing in 2018:
I want to see more positivity in the world. I think it’s important for me to use whatever voice I have to spread love and good energy because that’s what’s needed. It’s important for young black kids to see a smiling black male living a carefree life."
