Early life
Demorest was born in Michigan, and grew up in a very religious family. She said in an interview "I grew up in church, seven days a week. The service was very music-driven, so the pastor created a performing-arts school down the street. There was drama, dance, and choir rehearsal—it was my training."{{cite web|url=https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/12/jude-demorest-lee-daniels-star | title = Meet Jude Demorest, the Star of Lee Daniels's Star | work = vanitystar | date = December 7, 2016 | accessdate = January 1, 2017}}
