Demarco recently signed his first artist to his label by the name of Raytid who later left the label record, due to the belief the record label was not doing good on promoting his music.

Following leaving Akon‘s label Demarco released an EP on December 6, 2019 title “2020 Vision”. On April 16, 2021 Demarco released his debut album ” Melody ” under Ineffable Records.
