Navigating Grief Through Music: The Birth of "Beloved and Blessed"
James Demmitt, CEO of a leading biotech company, has taken on a new creative identity as the songwriter and producer jaame.sss (pronounced "jaa-me-ssss"). His debut single, "Beloved and Blessed," tells the story of a deeply personal journey through grief, transformation, and homage to his late father and brother. This transition from a career in biotechnology to the emotional realm of songwriting is both unexpected and compelling.
Inspired by the loss of his brother in December 2018 and his father in August 2023, Demmitt wrote and produced "Beloved and Blessed," which is set for pre-release on July 2, 2024, with an official release on July 31, 2024. The song is an emotional tribute to two influential figures in his life. While Demmitt wrote the lyrics and guided the production, he collaborated with AI tools to bring the song to life, ensuring his creative vision and emotional expression were fully realized. "I wanted to ensure the emotions I felt when writing the song were conveyed directly through my lyrics. While the performer provided the voice, the emotional expression in 'Beloved and Blessed' comes entirely from my words and personal story," explains Demmitt.
A Journey from the Boardroom to the Studio
Unlike many in the music industry, Demmitt’s journey didn’t start with formal training or the dream of being a performer. As the full-time CEO of a biotech company, music wasn’t a part of his career plans, but writing lyrics became a way to process the grief he felt after losing both his brother and father.
"My father's passing pushed me to take all the thoughts and emotions I had suppressed and give them life. I wrote ‘Beloved and Blessed’ as a way to honor both my father and brother," says Demmitt.
Although Demmitt doesn't perform the vocals on "Beloved and Blessed," his role as the songwriter and producer remains at the core of the project. "The words flowed from me, and I knew I wanted to find the right voice to deliver them. The virtual artist I worked with helped give my words the sound I envisioned while keeping the emotions intact."
Drawing on influences from hip hop, R&B, pop, rock, country, and alternative music, Demmitt writes and refines his lyrics with precision, often jotting down lines in an electronic notebook before shaping them into songs. While his music is new to the public, the raw, authentic emotion behind his lyrics speaks to his ability to connect with listeners through universal human experiences.
Creating Music Under His Own Label, BFJ Cymetry
"Beloved and Blessed" also marks Demmitt's first release under his independent label, BFJ Cymetry. Building BFJ Cymetry entirely on his own has been both a challenge and a labor of love, allowing Demmitt to retain complete creative control over his work. Despite his relative newcomer status in the music industry, Demmitt is eager to collaborate with other artists, producers, and musicians, though he is clear that "Beloved and Blessed" is a reflection of his personal journey.
What sets Demmitt apart is not just his transition from biotech CEO to music creator, but his intention behind the project. "Beloved and Blessed" is a heartfelt tribute meant to bring solace to those dealing with loss. By maintaining full ownership of the song's lyrics, composition, and production, Demmitt aims to share a message of healing, using music to connect with others on an emotional level.
Honoring a Legacy with "Beloved and Blessed"
Demmitt's debut track is more than just a song; it's a deeply personal reflection of his family's legacy. "Beloved and Blessed" blends elements of R&B, soul, country, and pop, touching on universal emotions such as grief, resilience, and the healing power of music.
"I wrote ‘Beloved and Blessed’ to express what I couldn’t say out loud. My father's final words to me served as the foundation for the song, and through it, I hope to comfort others who may be going through their own struggles with loss," says Demmitt.
By choosing to bring in a virtual vocalist to perform the song, Demmitt was able to focus on crafting the narrative and emotional tone of the piece while ensuring the delivery would resonate with listeners in a meaningful way.
From Grief to Creative Expression
What makes Demmitt's story particularly compelling is his ability to balance two distinct worlds. Running a biotech company requires precision, structure, and logical decision-making, while songwriting taps into a realm of emotion and vulnerability. For Demmitt, both are integral parts of his identity. While he continues to lead in the biotech sector, he has found an unexpected fulfillment in his artistic pursuits.
"I haven’t given up my work as a CEO, and I don’t intend to. Music is just another outlet for me. It has helped me navigate some of the hardest times in my life, and my hope is that my songs can do the same for others," explains Demmitt.
Future Collaborations and Expanding Horizons
Looking to the future, Demmitt remains open to exploring new creative avenues. Whether through collaborations with other musicians, AI tools, or a blend of both, he is excited to see where his songwriting journey takes him and welcomes the opportunity for his words to be re-imagined or reinterpreted by others. By embracing both human and AI-driven creativity, Demmitt aims to continue expanding the emotional depth and scope of his work. His collaborative spirit, combined with his commitment to genuine emotional expression, will likely continue to shape his evolving career as a music creator.
Demmitt’s focus on authenticity and emotional connection ensures that his future work will remain true to the personal experiences that inspire his songwriting. As he continues to grow as an artist, his songs will continue to reflect his personal journey and his commitment to providing comfort and healing to others through music.
