Demun Jones

Country

Every corner of the country tells its own story as part of the larger American experience. Nestled in the heart of Georgia, occupying approximately 395 sq. miles, lies Jones County, the place Demun Jones proudly calls home. Demun is a rapper, singer, songwriter, and independent artist whose music is infused with rustic instrumentals, hip-hop fundamentals, and exceptional lyricism. "I found my individuality by rapping over the acoustic guitar," he notes. "I didn't even mean for it to be unique; it was just me. I grew up surrounded by hayfields listening to N.W.A. and Ozzy Osbourne. If you throw that in a blender, Demun Jones is what you get. Once I'd lived a bit, lost a bit, won some, and experienced my fair share, I could tell my own story. I'd never been to Compton, but I had an idea of what it was like from listening to West Coast rap. So, that inspired me, 'What if I write about living in Jones County in a creative way?'"
