Demian Bell-Born in Chicago.He grew up in Maryland,Ohio,California,and Europe.At age 4 he was run over by a Baltimore City Transit bus and by miracle survived after 60% of his bones were broken and internal injuries. He was Classically trained on piano starting at age 7 and studied under Joseph Fasano ,who studied under Arturo Toscanini.

No stranger to hard times,heartbreak and struggle, Demian's real talent is his "natural" improvisation and his hard earned "Feeling" for the Blues.When he plays his guitar, it is with High Energy with pure emotion and he never plays the same thing twice. Each performance is in "The Moment". Demian can surely be called a "Music Gypsy", always ready to go off on some new musical adventure in some new State or Country.
