Savage is the stage name of New Zealand rapper Demetrius Savelio, who is well known in New Zealand as a member of hip hop music group Deceptikonz, his vocals on Scribe's song, "Not Many - The Remix" and his own successful solo career.

Born in South Auckland, New Zealand on June 28th 1981, Demetrius Savelio enjoyed hip hop music from a young age it was in these days that he got his stage name, “Back in the days when I was bustin’ to my friends, one of them said I sounded like a savage. I joked about and laughed, but then I liked the name" he said. Savage joined up with his friends to form a hip-hop group, the Deceptikonz in 1997 however success was not instant as the group struggled through endless talent shows and small gigs but their big break finally came in 1999 when thanks to a cousin of Savage's they were signed to NZ hip hop label, Dawn Raid Entertainment.
