Demetrius Savelio (born 28 June 1981), better known as Savage, is a New Zealand rapper and a member of hip hop music group Deceptikonz.

Early days

Born in South Auckland, New Zealand, on 28 June 1981 to Samoan parents, Demetrius Savage enjoyed hip hop music from a young age. It was in these days that he got his stage name.

Savage joined with his friends to form a hip-hop group, the Deceptikonz, in 1997. Success was not instant, however, as the group struggled through several talent shows and small concerts. Their big break finally came in 1999 when, thanks to a cousin of Savage, they were signed to New Zealand hip hop label Dawn Raid Entertainment.

The Deceptikonz

Released in March 2002, the Deceptikonz album "Elimination", which included the song "Fallen Angels", debuted at #2 on the RIANZ New Zealand Top 40 albums chart.

olo career

Savage recorded over 40 songs during a 12 month recording regime before finally selecting the final line up for his album "Moonshine".

Production duties on the project were handled by Mareko, Nate D of R.E.S, Adeaze Alavante AKA BeatKamp and Atlanta resident Sol Messiah, who had flown to New Zealand and spent two weeks manning the drum machine and keyboards at Dawn Raid Studios.

Savage worked with R&B singer Akon on a remix of Akon's US top 10 hit "Locked Up". The international remix with Savage on the A-side also features Styles P from the Ruff Ryders label.

Savage was also asked to guest with David Banner on the international remix of "Ain't Got Nothing" which helped to solidfy his name internationally.

ongs in films

Savage's hit song "Swing" can be heard in the 2007 comedy film "Knocked Up" during the club scene. Also, he's featured on the song "Capital S.A." by Alphrisk, which is in "Superbad". Both films had Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen as producers.
