About Me

He’s a lot like the nice guy you might bring home to meet your parents. Well mannered, family minded, goal oriented, philanthropic and a light in his eyes that let’s you know he has the “it” factor. He likes to get to know people before he opens up. A true Pisces, DEVON HOWARD is compassionate and giving by nature. DEVON easily fits the description of the boy next door.Don’t be fooled by his easy-going demeanor, though. The title of his debut album “The Other Side of the Bed” makes you curious to find out more about the other side of DEVON HOWARD. With his hypnotic voice accompanied by sexy lyrics and impeccable vocals, he is someone that the world will soon know.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. One listen to DEVON HOWARD’s voice and you’re tempted to draw comparisons to some of the artists he is most influenced by. What makes him different from all the others is he puts his soul into his work. He takes his talents, life experiences, and personal beliefs and channels them into his work, hoping that people can relate.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 industry performing with various groups and eventually wrote and performed with a local group. That group later dissolved and he went on to record and release music in Europe and Japan.DEVON HOWARD is currently signed to Warner Music Group’s development label via GMUSIC where he is being groomed and developed to be signed to a major deal. With talent like DEVON’s, that’s just a matter of time. He’s already gaining 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 is set to direct DEVON’s upcoming music video.DEVON HOWARD is not just a nice guy with a sexy voice. He is the 2003 winner of the Heinekin / ASCAP Initiative for Songrwriting. He has performed the National Anthem at games for the Baltimore Orioles and the NBA’s Washington Wizards. Amidst his hectic schedule and all of his accomplishments DEVON HOWARD finds time to give back. Just as his career is about to take off, he remains grounded. DEVON has been an advocate for foster children for the past five years. He has 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.
