Bio
Devanté is an R&B Singer, Songwriter and Producer. Although R&B/Soul are his main and preferred genres of music, Devanté is not only very capable, but also very talented in writing, and performing as well as producing everything from Pop to Jazz to Country, Alternative or Hip-Hop. Devanté is the youngest of three generations of music industry professionals. His paternal grandfather was saxophone player for Lena Horne, and his father has played with such legendary artists and groups such as Herbie Hancock, Tower of Power, George Benson and the original Grand Funk Railroad. As the singer, songwriter, arranger, composer, producer, rapper, engineer, musician and mastering technician behind every one of his releases, Devanté truly is the embodiment of one of a kind. This undeniable talent may be young, but Devanté has accomplished much in his career.
