Devo Brown

taken from www.devobrown.ca:

"…Music is a way of making life bearable…a beautiful refuge in a world otherwise ugly and hostile to human happiness…or it is, in itself, a powerful affirmation of life, in all its joy and sorrow…without music, life would be an error…" - Nietzsche

There ain't much our boy Devo Brown remembers from his degree in Sociology at McMaster University, but these few delicate words by Nietzsche still echoes profoundly in his ears each and every time he throws down a track. From DJ/MC-ing in some of the hottest clubs in the T-Dot to laying out 'sick-wicked-nasty' sets across the airwaves, there is nothing more apparent than Devo's love for music. It is thus, this affection for music that defines his passion, and from this passion derives the platform in which he uses to bring his 'beautiful refuge' to the world. In the words of Devo Brown himself: "…at the end of the day, all I wanna do is just make people smile…!"

Born in Halifax but raised in the 'Jax' (as he affectionately calls is hometown Ajax), Devo's easygoing and laidback character is directly attributed to his outlook on life, "…everything is about balance…" as he says with a wink and a smile, "…you gotta be at peace with yourself first, if you wanna conquer the world…" And the world seems to be within his grasp these days. After a lengthy odyssey within the radio industry, which saw him polish his skills in communities like Hamilton (Energy FM), Barrie (Energy FM), Oshawa (Energy FM) and Cobourg (Star 93.3), our boy Devo Brown now hosts one of the top rated urban radio shows in the country. Devo's smooth flowing velvet sound on Toronto's premiere Hip-Hop and R&B station - FLOW 93.5, is adored by all demographics alike. His ability to strike-a-cord with people in all walks of life and be very comfortable with any type of crowd or situation, naturally makes him one of the most 'real' personalities to hold a mic.
