DaMarcus Wilkins is a man of many talents. A versatile musician and singer/songwriter, DaMarcus has enjoyed several successful years in the music business. His latest single, “She Knows My Weakness” showcases his expert songwriting skills. A smooth mix of R&B with multicultural dance vibes, the song attracted attention from fans and Orlando clubs long before its official release.
Recorded in Orlando, “She Knows My Weakness” tells of a very beautiful lady who tried to get DaMarcus’ attention with her dancing. She knew exactly what she was doing, and it struck Wilkins that temptation by a woman is often a man’s weakness. DaMarcus got a beat that vibe off how she was dancing in the club that night, and the song came together.
Wilkins doesn’t confine himself to any one style and he masterfully blends elements of various genres in “She Knows My Weakness.” Developing and improving his craft since he began songwriting in 2003, Wilkins thrives on the creativity of experimentation while making music and he has a passion for writing relatable and inspirational tracks. Wilkins said “I don’t try to fabricate music, saying what I got if I don’t have it.” His lyrics are inspired by things he has been through during his life and the goals he has in front of him.
Staying true to himself and in his own lane, Wilkins is not one to impersonate other artists or their styles. Although his access to popular music was very limited while growing up, he was always inspired by artists such as Tank. Wilkins is a great admirer of the R&B singer whose underdog background reminded him of his own history. Back in the day, Wilkins also listened to Stevie Wonder, Usher, Jamie Foxx, R. Kelly and D’Angelo when he could.
Music is what DaMarcus Wilkins loves to do, and he doesn’t need to be the star attraction to enjoy himself. Besides making his own music, he loves to be the go-to guy while working with other artists in the studio. Whether he is recording, playing instruments, arranging, song-writing or providing backing vocals, Wilkins is a valuable asset to the music scene. He keeps pushing towards his goal of being part of a major movement in the business. “You gotta put your combat boots on sometimes and move around. You might get muddy sometimes, it might be rainy or sunny,” DaMarcus said. “But if you put yourself in the position, it will definitely work out.”
