Raised in Los Angeles and on the beaches and deserts of Southern California, Devin's music is a reflection of the incredible cultural diversity that he has come from.

With strong roots in American and British classic rock, Devin's music is infused with jazz chord structures and syncopated rhythms. His voice and songs are sonically rich, full of dynamic human emotion and depth.

Performing as front man, guitarist, and sitarist for the psychedelic rock bands The Huxlian Reduction Valve, and Long Beach based Entropy; Devin honed his songwriting skills, learned improvisation, performed continually, and independently produced and recorded seven CD's of music in four years.

His first solo album Lucid Now was released in the spring of 2003, and his second CD Shipwrecked Soul was released in February of 2006

Someone told me once that I had wanderlust, and that I’d be chasing the stars my whole life trying to catch them. I think there’s some truth in that. I feel like one of the lost boys playing with the fairies in my sitar when I put it through the echo box backwards. Leaves in my hair, and wearing seashells I sometimes wake on distant beaches wondering where I can find my lost lovers. Breaking my heart away from it’s being so attached to love that sails like Cassiopeia over the clouds there is new air in my lungs for myself and my dream.

Oh and Someday; I’m going to build a starship shaped like a firefly and sail the galaxy playing music for everyone out visiting far away from the Earth. ; )
