He has also toured Italy, Spain, Croatia, and many cities in the United States. Demetrius currently serves as Minister of Music at Royal Baptist Church in N. Charleston, SC, and Assistant Professor of Music Technology at South Carolina State University. He can be found playing in multiple venues and settings in and throughout the Charleston Area.
