Biography

Get ready for an emotional roller coaster. GIRL WITHOUT FEAR have created their own self-dubbed organitronic style, fusing organic pop rock and electronic instrumentation. Co-founded by vocalist/songwriter DEMETRIA and producer/songwriter J.D. SHULTZ, together their musical roots are based on a wide spectrum of sounds, ranging from classic to modern rock, electronic pop, funk-inspired beats, and Middle Eastern riffs. This makes for a sassy mix of rhythms and styles, that is ready to burst "like a gum bubble on a safety pin", as described by MARC GOLDSTEIN music reviewer for THE BOOK LA.

Originally from Brooklyn, Demetria scaped into a secret world of art and writing at a tender age. Her instinct to journey west was the missing link and her creative match was found in local producer and multi-instrumentalist J.D. Shultz. J.D. had already worked with and held the respect of members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Janes Addiction, and Macy Gray, and also jammed regularly with members of Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilot. J.D. always kept his whole being into music, writing a plethora of music and recording his own bands, while maintaining a successful career as a painter. Demetria and J.D. swiftly locked into a musical bond that was explosive and undeniable. This is felt through the dozens of unique songs they have written together, never lacking in inspiration.

GIRL WITHOUT FEAR is here and wide awake with the energy of the debut record Mix Messages. The album serves up musically fresh and lyrically rich songs that manage to set themselves apart without going over our heads. Those with their finger on the pulse have already pricked up their ears. Like KCRW (see archives for the show Pop Secret), known as a nationally recognized tastemaker in new music, began featuring the GIRL WITHOUT FEAR track "Another Summer", with an immediate response from listeners. Following that the legendary Rodney "On The Roq" Bingenheimer aired "Sundown" on the world famous KROQ and most recently "Look Like Angels" aired on the INDIE 103.1's show CHECK ONE,TWO.
