An internationally acclaimed, Grammy-nominated, award winning performing and recording artist, Constance Demby has been hailed as a 21st century Mozart / Bach / Beethoven, a tall order for anyone to be associated with, but in Constance’s case one founded on an extraordinary musical and creative talent that is testimony to her prolific output and the profound healing both listeners and participants experience, alongside critical acclaim that has followed her every step of progress in a career spanning decades.
In live concert, Constance presents a range of sonic environments, accompanied by her penetrating voice: the Cosmic-Electronic-Symphonic Orchestra performed on digital sampling synthesizers, the Hammer Dulcimer with over 100 vibrating strings, and the Sonic Steel Space Bass, a ten foot sheet of steel that produces deep, primoridal, resonant sounds. An original design by Demby, the Sonic Steel Instruments have been recorded by Lucas Skywalker Studios for use in their filmscores, and also filmed by Discovery Channel at Gaudi's Parc Guell for "The Power of Music."
A classically trained artist performing since the age of 12, Demby's music has been compared by critics to Bach, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Brahms, Palestrina, Rachmaninoff, Wagner, Puccini, Debussy, Ravel, Copland, Mahler, Vivaldi, Faure, etc. Her focus has included one-woman shows of her paintings and sculptures in Greenwich Village Galleries, which culminated in the major multimedia presentation, SPACE MASS, a spectacular multi-media production merging music, myth, art, and spirit. Launched in NYC, it combined painting, film, massive environmental sculptures, music, dance, ritual and was the birth of the Sonic Steel Instruments.

A rennaisance woman, she is composer, performer, painter, sculptor, instrument designer, innovator, multi-media producer, and healer for our times. With a film in first stage development, her team is focused on launching this major film trilogy. Described as a cosmic multidimensional musical millennial adventure, combining hyperrealism, magical surrealism and a dash of sci-fi, this is a stylish and ultimately uplifting film with unforgettable original songs by Demby.
Dedicated to exploring the healing power of sound and it's ability to alter consciousness, Constance has received countless letters from those who experienced a major shift or a healing of life-threatening conditions by experiencing the energies inherant in the music. Therapists, Doctors, Nurses, Healers, etc, have used the music in their practice to deepen and facilitate their work with patients. click for extended bio
