Demerick Ferm, better known by his stage name Demrick, formerly known as Young De, is a recording artist/songwriter from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and is currently residing in Los Angeles, California. His description of his style is "both raw and soulful". “The songs I write are about my life, friends, family and people I’ve met along the way, most of my inspiration comes from my everyday experiences.” He is best known for his collaborations with high profile artists such as Xzibit, Kurupt, Snoop Dogg, Too $hort, B-Real and Cypress Hill.
