In one word, the best description of the artist known as Demolition Man or Demo, also known as Wayne Young, is; versatile. He was born in Hackney, East London, England and is a singer, songwriter, emcee, engineer, lyricist and producer . When asked why he refers to himself as ‘Demolition Man’? He explains that, “Demolition Man is here to demolish all evil things.” Demo's drive, love and energy can be felt through his words, power and sound in his musical creations.

From 1983-1993 Demo was a key MC on the sound circuit, first with ‘In Ting Hi Fi’ and then ‘Justice Sound’. While living in the U.S for a year in 1993, he went on a three day tour with Bounty Killer, Lady Patra, Roundhead and Ninjakid. This tour signified the evolution from Wayne Young to Demolition Man. In 1994, Demolition Man collaborated with producer Terry T on a track called ‘Fire’ which was released by Prizna, and became an international hit charted at 33 in the National charts. It has been dubbed by many as; one of the key Jungle anthems of all time. It was now time for Demolition Man’s journey to really begin.

In late 1994 Demo met Solo Dan who took him under his wings. Ras Solo was greatly responsible for teaching Demo about production, teaching him how to use Atari Cubase and being a positive Ras Tafari elder in his livity. It was 1996 when he decided to become a Rasta practicing Rastafari livity, he also started to develop as a producer and started touring as an artist. In 1998, Demolition Man embarked on a spiritual journey to Africa, the motherland. He was blessed with the opportunity to perform in Sierra Leone, Freetown at a peace concert and in Gambia alongside other artists' such as Sweetie Irie, Lorna Asha and Richie Davis.

In Late 2001, Dem Lott was formed. They launched a tune called, 'Dem Lott's Here Now' on a garage production produced by Demo. The group achieved radio and television success and filmed a video for their tune ‘Weekend Inferno’ which aired on Channel U. “I still kept touring doing PA’s with DJ Vadim from the hip-hop circuit in Germany, Russia, Dublin, Norway, Sweden and Greece and Terry T and Dj Souljah on the jungle scene in Spain”. That spring, Demo was introduced to Theatre Royal Stratford East, to teach young students music production towards their GCSE’s. Then in April 2003, he took part in a hip-hop musical called 'Da Boyz' which was extended to eight weeks due to public demand.

Toronto, Canada was Demolition Man’s base from 2005-2008. During this time he still toured and performed in the U.S, Trinidad, Europe and Canada. Demo was a part of all the major Reggae/Ras Tafari events put on in Toronto such as; Jamaica Day with headliners Tanya Stephens, Horace Martin, and Professor Nuts among many other Reggae greats, Rootsbana, Ethiopian Christmas Celebration, and at Borough Day in Trinidad, West Indies with Jah Melody and Humble, just to name a few. He was featured at many other guest appearances at both cultural and Jungle/Drum n Bass events..

In 2006 he recorded what would end up being 38 tracks in the legendary King Jammy’s Studio in Jamaica. King Jammy then released the single ‘Inna Mi Yard’ on The Taxi Rhythm which was premiered and played on radio stations in Jamaica.


Never forgetting where he came from, the time has arrived for Demolition Man to make a lasting impression in the minds' and hearts' of true music lovers' on an international scale. Since 2008 Demolition Man has performed all over Western, Southern, Northern and Eastern Europe, as well as Japan and North America, both solo and together with DJ's and artists such as; Jacky Murda of Chopstick Dubplate, Chyna Soulstar, DJ Souljah, Terry T from Knowledge & Wisdom, Jacky Murda, DJ Aries, DJ Cab, Vikings Champion Sound & PsychoFreud.

Demolition Man’s music has been around for more than two decades and his passion for the creation of music is everlasting. Whether it is at a peace concert, rave, stage show, charity event or at the studio his creativity, focus and determination can be seen, felt and heard. Demolition Man's destiny is to make music. Of all love affairs, this is surely one that will last forever. Nothing can out this lyrical fire!
