From the moment he stepped onto the stage as a wide-eyed child, Devin knew he was destined for a life in the arts, embarking on a journey of creative exploration that would shape his identity as an artist for years to come. As a child, stage fright hit him pretty hard, making him put his thespian dreams aside for a decade.
