BIOGRAPHY

“A sonic journey of epic proportions." That’s how The Concert Chronicles defines John DeMena, the award-winning rock singer and guitarist hailing from L.A. Known for his energetic sound and intricate artistry, DeMena has worked with renowned musicians of Alice Cooper, Jane's Addiction, and Jimmy Kimmel, while sharing the stage with acts like Orgy and Emily Wolfe. His debut album ‘Dreams and Lies’ was released via ADA (Warner) to critical acclaim, features on influential playlists like Loudwire’s WeeklyWire and outlets such as Metal Hammer, Rock Hard, and Sonic Perspectives. In addition, his music video for ‘Eternal Eyes’ won over a dozen awards and nominations globally at festivals like the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, the Las Cruces Film Festival, and the Girona Film Festival.

​

‘Dreams and Lies’ launched DeMena’s first U.S. tour and caught the attention of Rhino Records, who invited him to contribute to their tribute to The Doors. DeMena’s haunting cover of the band’s classic “People Are Strange,” accompanied by a visually striking music video, garnered significant attention and was featured on MTV Germany, expanding his global reach. His upcoming album (expected 2025) features collaborations with Alain Johannes (Queens Ff The Stone Age, Chris Cornell) and Spain’s TV flamenco singer Sabrina Romero.
