Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Mike De Leon, age 27 : I am the lead vocalist/guitar player. I started playing guitar at age 11. Early 80's metal influenced me to play guitar. I was in and out of many local bands, until 1993 when I was asked to play guitar for a band. The original vocalist quit and I decided to give vocals a try. And that is how I became the front man for Demonio. Abel Villareal, age 29 : I am the drummer for Demonio. I started when I was 14, the intensity and coordination of the instrument, always fascinated me. Watching drum solos always gets a crowd going. And it gets me going to hear there response. Demonio is a high energy band so that's why, I love what I do. Robert De Leon, age 23 : I play bass guitar for Demonio. I started when I was 11, when my older brother Mike started playing guitar I decided to pick up the bass. I started to listen to heavy music and other bass players. My two influences are Cliff Burton and Steve Harris, for there creativity and aggressive styles. I feel that I can also add something different to the bass. And hope that through Demonio I can inspire other future bass players. Richard Rodriguez, age 26 : I play guitar for Demonio I started playing guitar at the age of 13. Hearing the aggression of metal music is what got me into playing guitar. I've been playing guitar for 11 years I also like playing classical guitar as well.
