Sol Entertainment, Inc. Announces the new Musical Release by Soca Recording Artist, Devon Matthews Titled The Flow, recorded by Devon's own HP Studios along with SMJ Studios
As the first chord is struck on Devon Matthews latest single, The Flow you will feel such a beautiful and calming flow throughout your mind and body. The lyrics reflect things that we all have experienced at some point in our relationships. If the voice seems familiar, chances are you have heard him on various other tracks such as Dutty, Wine Down, Jouvert amongst many others. He is also one of the voices on Red 967fm in Trinidad. With this track he has allowed the mind to become mellow and get a vibe of going with the flow of things. With a voice that's powerful, passionate, endlessly expressive, and full of contagious energy, Devon Matthews is just that type of artist-one who will undoubtedly surprise and captivate those who listen to him. This song will definitely captivate you deep into your soul. It tells you no matter what is going on or will go on just continue to go with the flow. This song is done with a beautiful acoustic riddim as well as a beautifully enchanting nyabinghi drum sound.

With its beautiful, evocative, and consistently positive undertones, the track The Flow takes the listener on a journey beyond the standard sonic drapery of many selections, Like a dramatic narrative encompassing a spectrum of musical feels, The Flow is all about a sense fluidity – relationships, moods, ideas, trust and taking all of that and just going with flow. That comes across perfectly in the carefully nuanced interplay of acoustics and drums. The Flow remains spectacularly melodic. "Some of my main influences are Buju Banton, Bob Marley, Sparrow and Lord Nelson, but I love various genres of music," says Devon. "I love pretty much anything that musically or emotionally makes me feel something."

It hasn't been easy for Devon to accomplish all that he has, but he'll tell anyone who asks, what it does take to move forward is the confidence to follow a path with heart to keep the love and compassion in your music. "Always try to stay true to what you feel in your heart musically and be yourself. It's easy to get caught up in trends, but stay true to what you love, and listeners will find you and be attracted to that kind of dedication. I just want to reach out to listeners of all forms of music across the world" For ones who wouldn't normally listen to this music to open up their minds and hearts and go with the flow and enjoy the positive energy. Devon Matthews is available for interviews and bookings. For more information or for bookings, please contact Solana Casbana. Information provided above.

Bio

With a voice that's powerful, passionate, endlessly expressive, and full of contagious energy, Devon Matthews is just that type of artist-one who will undoubtedly surprise and captivate those who listen to him.
He has opened his own studio alongside partner Kerwin Du Bois called “HP (High Performance) Studios”. He will now have the opportunity to not only record great music, but produce it in the comfort of his own studio, “HP” Style. Along with the ability to record his own music, he will also be able to help other youths get off the streets and focus on something positive, great music.
His first track to be released from his very own HP Studios is titled “Going with the Flow”. This song is done with a beautiful acoustic riddim. The song is about relationships and the lyrics flow beautifully with the music.
“I like the kind of music where you’re driving down the road just staring into oblivion because you’re totally swept up by the song. That’s the kind of music I want to write – something that puts you in a trance. Feel-good party songs often make people dance and have a good time, but music means much more when there’s another dimension to go along with it.”
Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, Devon Matthews is an only child to two loving parents whom, from a youth supported his love and desire for music. Devon began his journey in soca at the age of 12 where he had his first performance. Devon then started his own band called Klymax where he was the lead singer. Devon, an incredibly intelligent and deliberate man has stayed focused and dedicated to achieving great success and doing what he enjoys most, music.
Devon has numerous releases as well as videos to his credit. Songs such as “Cause it” and “Hold Me Now” and Dutty featuring Kerwin Du Bois. He released two very successful songs for 2008 carnival, one titled “Jouvert” and the next titled “Wine Down”, which got him to the semi finals of the Groovy Soca Monarch Competition, Carnival 2008. The video for “Wine Down” has been in heavy rotation on Synergy and Tempo, amongst other stations. These songs exhibit his progression and growth as an artist, and express his desire to put soca music on the tilt. Devon has worked with producers like Kerwin Du Bois, Angelo Pantin, Painter amongst other top producers in the soca fraternity. He possesses a widespread appeal that is evident by his musical success thus far, yet this is only the beginning.
Devon seized the opportunity to display his other talents by becoming one of the hottest radio personalities on red967 fm as well as hosting events and television shows. His radio show airs on Red967fm in Trinidad 6 days a week between the hours of 6-9pm and can also be heard online at www.red967fm.com
"Our audience comes from everywhere," he says. "Young, old, rich, poor. They know that soca music gave a voice to many who never had one. And now that we got their attention, I want to communicate the music so that it creates the greatest impact. So that it sticks. Anything that I've ever approached, I've had one goal in mind and that is to make great music that the world will enjoy and be a great success for years to come.”
