Dave Demay
Star Search - Male Vocal Grand Champion 1989 - Singer - Songwriter - Producer - Publisher - Born July 3, 1962

Dave Demay is known to many as a gifted vocalist, songwriter, and producer who grew up in Fayetteville, NC, traveled Europe, and then moved to Nashville, TN in the mid 1980's. Before moving to Nashville, he appeared and won several episodes on "You Can Be a Star", a nationally broadcasted talent program on The Nashville Network (TNN). Not long after that he was selected to appear on Ed McMahon's "Star Search" in 1989, in Hollywood. After winning several episodes Dave Demay won the Male Vocal Grand Championship for the entire season of 1989.

After being seen by millions on Star Search, and having had a taste of what it was like to lose his anonymity, Dave made a deliberate choice not to pursue a high-profile artist career. Valuing his privacy, and desiring to live a somewhat normal day to day life, Dave chose to continue developing his musical career behind the scenes so to speak, in the production world at the source of music creation for the masses, which is in the studio. While pursuing and sharpening his skills and knowledge in the recording and publishing world, Dave maintained what some call "a real job" for a number of years. He worked in computer technology, while maintaining his singing skills in the studio, producing other artist projects, and songwriting.

After several years occupying senior positions in the technology field, Dave Demay decided it was time to make a break from working in day-to-day in the technology field, and to dedicate himself full-time to his first passion, which is of course producing, songwriting, and the Music Business.

Dave Demay still lives in Nashville, TN, is very involved in the music community and has a full-production studio called SongCity Studios.
