This Needs To Be Said

Demario McIlwain, CEO of JDS Certified Inc., spent most of his life dedicated to music. From the early ages of 9 to 40, Demario has had a lifetime of stories and events in gaining ground in the entertainment business arena. He spent many of his younger years traveling as a musician from place to place including tours overseas. He has been a drummer, keyboardist, guitarist and bassist for Gospel, R&B, Country and Rock bands. He has also performed in places such as China, Japan, Korea, Alaska, Germany and too many U.S areas to name.  After7 years of live performances, he left the stage to work more directly with artist development, music production and recording in independent studios in many different areas. Often Demario would wonder how the “business side” of the entertainment worked. He would ask many questions each time he was around anyone who had been in the business for many years being mentored by the elders of the industry as he liked to call them.
