Truin, I talk bout nuff different topics, n raise plenty issues cause I feel we have da ability ta entertain but ta stimulate thought. Its tru da power a Jah I believe we all have da ability ta connect. So, I try to keep my mind open an dhonest, ta make sure I challenge myself, not only sound good but to educate."

Keep lyricism alive, educate, and entertain, and inspire my people. I have always had my own flavor, and over time I've enhanced this style by constantly creating unique flows and skillfull rhymes inspired by God, my dialect, and numerous musical influences."

As a young man, he often listened to the thunderstorm radio show on local FM station 100 JAMZ. He got to hear sounds from accross the globe, and has been inspired by Bahamian artists such as K.B, Funky D, Sweet Emily, Ronnie Butler, Bahamen, Dancehall icons like Sizzla, Spragga Benz, Bounty Killer, Beenie man, and even Rap greats like Common Sense, Jay-z, Nas, Eminem, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, and Mos Def.

During the interview as he reflected on these early influences making a point to mention that it is very important to pay tribute to all artists--past and present.

At the age of 17, Devlyn began writing and performing at local talent shows. He began with a group called 'CEO Playas', but that situation never progressed due to personal family crisis. By 19, he left his hometown of Nassau, Bahamas for College in the U.S. He has earned a Bachelors of Arts degree in Philosophy, and went on to complete one semester of grad school.

While in college, he formed a Reggae/Rap band D.O.C.T.R.I.N.E. The band included members Massyka of Kingston, Jamaica, and Vicky of Freeport, Grand Bahama. The group achieved some local success, however by 2004 Devlyn decided to continue pursuing a solo career. He renamed himself 'Jah Doctrine'; music inspired by the word of God. Under his newly formed independent Record Label, Dat Giddy Records, Jah Doctrine helped to release an underground album titled SugaHill Uncut with producer J. Peppa from Nigeria. The album featured a number of producers and artists, including past group members Vicky and Massyka, Zed from Kingston, Jamaica, Tew Tone of Top Contendaz, and Pin Point Ent. out of Alabama USA.

In 2005, some of the solo tracks from SugaHill Uncut were later released on his Debut album as Dawon Stubby titled 'Dat Giddy' released in the spring of 2005. Dat Giddy recieved significant reception heralding the emergence of a unique talent with much promise.

Look out for Jah Doc's upcoming album Echoes of History scheduled for a 2007 release.

Encompassing elements from hip/hop and dancehall, he describes his music as "Bahamian Hip-Hop/Dancehall. Real music from the heart, not for the money."

It is not at all difficult to hear the power and wisdom in his voice, nor is it hard to see the passion, and drive in his voice. He has a purpose for his music, and wants to deliver this message to a world wide audience. Jah Doctrine is here to stay, bringing good music and positive energy to the music industry for many years to come!
