This week’s guest is musician De’Mar Hamilton. De’Mar and I have been friends for years, and I’ve made him do things like this and this before…but this is for sure my most favorite thing we’ve done together.
De’Mar and I discuss his early beginnings in Chicago, the music experience that transformed his career, the blessing and the curse of having a #1 hit on the radio, and how he found the love of his life…halfway across the world. I love De’Mar’s story and think you will too.

0:00.0 | It's the one part podcast, episode 19. |
0:37.6 | Hey, it's Jessica Mernan. It's the one part podcast.. It's the one part podcast and I'm bringing you lessons in next level inspiration. Just a few things before I tell you who this week's guest is. And one, there's not going to be a podcast next Thursday, Thanksgiving. I don't want you to get mad it. Some people were a little annoyed. There wasn't a podcast that one week. And it's just because it's Thanksgiving. |
0:43.3 | I want to hang with my fam, eat mashed potatoes, try to figure out to make a gluten-free stuffing. |
0:50.5 | And so that's what's going to happen. But even though there's not going to be a podcast, |
1:12.7 | there's going to be a brand new website. You're going to go to the website and you're going to think, am I in the right place? Because it's going to be that different. I'm excited to see what you think. There's going to be a recipe index. There's going to be a for real's meals index. There's going to be lots of new stuff for you to look at. So on Thanksgiving, |
1:19.2 | if your dad's in your grill about getting a new job, your sister's annoying, someone's watching a Law & Order Marathon and you've already seen all the episodes. Say, I've got to go. Look at the new |
1:24.7 | website, spend some time on it. It'll definitely, you'll have at least a half |
1:28.9 | hours worth of looking. So let me know what you think about that. And then third, if you're |
1:34.5 | thankful for these episodes, leave a review on iTunes. I know I asked you to do it before. It's not |
1:39.7 | so I seem cool and have lots of likes and reviews. It's just that potential guests look at the reviews |
1:46.0 | to see how many people are listening to the show. And I know there's a lot more people listening |
1:50.2 | than there are reviews. So head over and leave a review. Thank you. So today's guest is Damar Hamilton. |
1:56.2 | He is a friend of mine, but I'll have to tell you, I learned a whole bunch of stuff about him |
2:02.3 | I didn't know in this episode. We talk a lot about how his dad has influenced his musical |
2:07.6 | career, which I didn't know, early on by performing with him in a church, which I didn't know. |
2:13.7 | We talk about what it's like to have a number one hit on what happens after that. |
2:21.3 | Demar's in the band, the plain white tease, and he had a huge hit with Hayther Delilah and another hit with one, two, three, four. |
2:27.3 | And if he feels any pressure to top those hits and how it all works in the music industry, because it's not something that I totally get. |
2:35.4 | And then last, we talk about how he found the love of his life all the way across the world. |
2:41.0 | It's a pretty touching story. And before we get started, I just wanted to also mention that we |
2:45.8 | talk a lot about DeMara's dad, but we don't mention that DeMara's dad passed away this past year. |
2:51.6 | And I'm going to get a little choked up. I had the opportunity to go to DeMars Dad's funeral. |
