We had the good fortune of connecting with Demetrius Billington and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Demetrius, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind my success, would be consistency and hard work, I feel like those two factor are most important when building a brand including time, putting time and effort into your craft.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m just so excited to be doing what I love to do as an Artist, even if that’s me writing music or singing a cover on TikTok or even being in the studio recording a song. I’m so proud of myself as a human being. I am able to heal people with my voice being able to share the voice god has given me, to hear people say your voice has made my day better feels so good. It’s has not always been that way though the internet has its ups and downs, a lot of people aren’t as nice or welcoming, I used to care about what people say about me like real bad, but the older I get, I start to care less about what people have to say about me , the positive will always outweigh the negative. I pray and let god handle it from there because I know what’s done it the dark shall come to the light. I just want everyone to know that what god has for you no one can take it from you no matter what, you dream for a reason, listen to your heart, keep the faith and hold your head up high, be consistent & work hard and you will see the fruits of your labor.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Honestly, I’m more of an inside type of person. I don’t like going outside, it’s very seldom that I’ll leave the house. I feel like I get anxiety every time I walk out the house. like there is like a million people staring at me literally. I’m not even a clubber or drinker or smoker. I’m more of a museum type of person, or even the movies, swimming or even get into the kitchen and bake a cake but I wouldn’t recommend asking me because I feel I’m definitely the boring type.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I first want to thank God, I don’t think that I would be where I am today without the man above I am so blessed to be alive and sharing my story . I also want to shoutout my family, my mother Mimi, my auntie Tina including all my siblings Acoyae, Imani, Shikir, Josiah. My grandma’s Rose & Delilah, my best cousin Precious . These folks that I just mentioned are the ones who have had my back, who has loved me , cared for me , been there for me, pulled me up even when I was at my lowest in life. When I look at them there’s something inside of me saying keep going and don’t give up I’m doing it for them.
