Jesse ‘Raz’ DeMarco

† | Chasing dreams with a reckless heart, lost in the echoes of a broken past

I’m tired of being what you want me to be / feeling so faithless, lost under the surface / I don’t know what you’re expecting of me / put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

Jesse :

Jesse "Raz" DeMarco grew up in a rundown neighborhood, the child of a single mother who struggled to keep their lives stable. His father left when he was only six, leaving a void that Jesse tried to fill by acting out. He was the kid who skipped school, got into fights, and ran with a rough crowd. In those early years, he was constantly searching for something—some way to feel seen, understood, and in control of his chaotic life. Music became that outlet.

He discovered rock music through an old cassette tape his mother kept from her teenage years, a relic of a happier time. As soon as he heard the grit, anger, and passion in the voices, he was hooked. He taught himself to play guitar, saving money to buy a beat-up instrument from a pawn shop. For Jesse, music was therapy, a way to channel his frustrations and pain. By his late teens, he was playing in underground clubs, rough places filled with the same kind of lost souls that felt like home.

At 19, Jesse formed his first band, Broken Saints, with a few friends who shared his passion but not necessarily his drive. They played in dive bars, barely making enough to cover their gear and gas, but Jesse didn’t care. He was fiercely dedicated, staying up until dawn writing songs and perfecting his sound. Over time, his ambition grew, and he pushed his bandmates harder, demanding a level of commitment they weren't ready for. His aggressive style and need for control led to frequent clashes, eventually breaking up Broken Saints.

Unfazed, Jesse moved on, constantly searching for people who shared his relentless hunger for success. At 22, he formed his current band, Steel Fang, a name inspir
