DEVON HOWARD
Straight out of Baltimore, Maryland, DEVON HOWARD is keeping it hot. As a singer, songwriter and producer he is a triple threat which places him way ahead of the game. DEVON is walking in the footsteps of some of the most recognized artists out today, who have all had an impact on his style. Baby Face, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, El DeBarge, Usher and Ne-Yo, all triple threats in their own right, he is influenced by new artists as well as the old. El DeBarge was the first male singer he related to vocally. His smooth, sensual, passionate voice was something he wanted to emulate as a singer but, with his own style. He is heavily influenced by Michael Jackson’s innovative style and creativity.
DEVON’s style is fresh, edgy, laid back and smooth. He brings a flavor reminiscent of old school but, with a modern twist. He’s had a lifetime of practice. DEVON has been writing songs since childhood. Songwriting comes naturally to him. Inspired by his late father, who was also a songwriter, he grew up listening to his father’s collection: The Manhattans, The Stylistics, and The Commodores. DEVON got his start in the music industry performing with various groups and eventually wrote and performed with a local group who recorded their debut CD on the RCA label. . The group has appeared on many of the popular music shows including Soul Train, Apollo and BET. SWV and Wendy Williams appeared in the group’s first video and Malcolm Jamal Warner directed the second. Devon also worked with industry vets Ron Fair (Keyshia Cole) and Vincent Herbert (Lady Gaga, Toni Braxton) on the group’s debut CD. That group later dissolved and Devon went on to record and release music in Europe and Japan.
Devon has already gained the attention of some key people in the industry. One of those people is none other than Chris Robinson, one of the most sought after music video directors in the industry, who directed Devon’s first music video. The single “Other Side of the Bed” has received radio play in 16 markets across the country and on Music Choice and Sirius Satellite. The video played in regular rotation on VH1 Soul and other video outlets nationwide. His new CD entitled ‘Return To Love’ is slated for a May 2015 release.
DEVON HOWARD is not just a nice guy with a sexy voice. He is the winner of the Heinekin / ASCAP Initiative for Songwriting. Amidst his hectic schedule and all of his accomplishments DEVON HOWARD finds time to give back. He has been an advocate for foster children at Second Home Inc., for well over ten years. And, recently put together a compilation CD featuring national and local recording artists to raise money for his newest endeavor, opening a day shelter for homeless youth and young adults. He has performed for and given donations to various charitable organizations including the Red Cross and America’s Harvest.
DEVON HOWARD is definitely one to keep your eye on. He is Baltimore’s best kept secret and soon the world will be introduced to this class act.
