DJ ZARE DEMUS
An international dj and hype man with 15 years in the entertainment business.Truly a talented performer, you wont find Zare Demus being a cliched DJ with his head down, however he will be either blazing on the microphone or dropping a dance move while taking his patrons on a musical journey.
Zare Demus who was born in Jamaica, started thrilling patrons from the age of 16 when it was cool to buy vinyl and play them on turntables. Having gone through the fire that is Jamaican marathon dancehall sessions, easily reaching 10 hours per set, this gruelling intro to the world of entertainment, in reality, was the best launching pad for this DJ. Zare Demus cut his teeth on the constant demand to entertain and change vibes at any given moment. This is a skill many DJs will never learn, however, Zare Demus has turned it into an art form. Zare Demus’ unique DJ style enables him to play across all genres bringing the same level of energy, professionalism and showmanship to all performances.
