Dev

Dev (they/them) holds a Masters of Music (Voice) degree with a concentration in Musical Theatre from NYU Steinhardt where they studied under Dr. Scott Murphree and Alexander Gemingani. They also hold a BA in Commercial Music Performance (Voice) from the Detroit Institute of Music Education (DIME) studying voice under Kisma Jordan-Hunter and DeAnna Johnson. Dev has shared the stage with artists such as Josh Groban, Elizabeth Stanley, Audra McDonald, and so on. They also toured with companies like Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company.

Dev is a native Detroiter who has never liked to limit themselves in any particular genre of music, Theatre, or whatever piece of art they choose to take part in in life, so they sing and perform everything from Classical, Pop, Jazz, Musical Theatre, Country, Gospel, R&B/Soul, and even Rock. And work to effect change for the better in every space they cross. Dev has a sound that is truly unique and is sure to touch the hearts of Detroit, New York and beyond. Dev would like to thank God, and the shoulders of the brillant, beautiful, Black and Queer folks who have come before them doing the important work.
