Damez is not your traditional artist. Although he’s a proud member of the LGBTQ community, Damez has struggled with “not being gay enough” to fit into media and societal standards. Nonetheless, he remains focused on his music and delivers hit after hit. “Pull Up” is a track that everyone can enjoy. Full of metaphors and strategic word play, this track simply boosts your confidence while simultaneously forcing you to bob your head. With production by GRILLABEATS, the uppity record is ecstatic and is a certified club banger. The official single follows his recently released buzz track, “Disaster,” which has already garnered more than 50,000 streams across platforms since its release earlier this summer. “Pull Up” is sure to do even greater numbers.

Who Is Damez?

Hailing from Atlanta, Damez is a rapper, singer, dancer, songwriter, and a rising voice in the hip-hop & LGBT community. Primarily rap/hip-hop and R&B, he showcases his talents and versatility through an eclectic catalog of self-penned songs and choreography-heavy visuals. From his childhood, he has been through an unfortunate series of events such as the divorce of his parents and the horrific murder of his brother at the tender age of 17 (Google: “Justice For Ryan Henderson”). He found refuge in music by independently recording music and performing at live shows. He has since released a number of projects and singles globally on iTunes, Amazon and streaming platforms since his debut EP arrived via SoundCloud in 2014. Being black and LGBT in today’s challenging society has not always been an easy road for him, but he’s channeled the unique intersectionality of his life experiences in his music and hopes to be a voice for unique people everywhere.
