DeMonica Flye is one of those women who takes what life throws her way and turns it into something as beautiful as her soulful voice. Emancipated at the age of 15, Flye began an early adulthood and motherhood. She has since raised three wonderful boys of her own and spent six years raising a friend's three children when she was called upon for help. Meanwhile, she never stopped performing.
Living in Chicago at age 18, Flye became a licensed DJ and spent a number of years DJing & performing in clubs all over the city. She worked with Kitty Neely, the number one black female DJ of the time, and with Neely's business Purrfect Production, was able to open for national acts.
Flye currently fronts her twelve-piece band, Hi-Definition, along with male lead vocalist, Ronell Henry. She is also spotted regularly around Minneapolis performing house music. She is adept at creating lyrics on the "Flye." Her ease with improvisation and wonderful voice often leave her audience requesting a recorded version. When Flye is not entertaining with house music, she is performing soul, r&b, jazz, and blues.
Along with her own musical ambition of releasing a self-titled Cd, Flye spends her time learning the business aspects of the music industry. She plans to pass on her business savvy to young talent who may not be in a position to attend classes themselves. Flye believes it is important for artists to be involved in every aspect of their music to ensure the final product is a true representation of what they wish to communicate to the world.
