Two and a half years ago, near the release of Edge of the Universe, I began another music project. Almost immediately I knew what I was going to call it: The Beat Demon. One of my first ideas was "What if the Groove was a character?" The idea was then evolved into The Beat Demon as that character--almost an alter ego--of myself, Garrett Williamson. In fact I kind of compare it to Jekyll and Hyde. He's a bit darker, a bit snarky, and even kind of flirty. He's a little dangerous, but he never does any harm. His purpose is solely to bring the Groove to the world. Compared to Edge of the Universe, this project is much more powerful, electronic, and considerably darker. Edge of the Universe was actually an experiment with more acoustic settings, while this project is a bit more of the real me, I would say. This project is by far the largest project I've ever taken on and quite honestly is very close to my heart. This project has been a part of my life for over two and a half years. It's a crazy feeling to actually have this finally release to the entire world, whether or not it gains any attention at all. Making this album has really been a journey, and I've learned so much along the way. As of right now, I would say I'm not more proud of any project I've ever done as I am with The Beat Demon. My goal is to continue to improve and make music that I will love hearing, just like this entire album. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you... The Beat Demon.
