DESCRIPTION:
Devon Martin, better known as Devon, is a Canadian rapper/singer/multi-instrumentalist.
He released his first solo album, It's My Nature in 1992. He won the Juno Award for Best Rap Recording in 1993.
Rinaldo Walcott's book Black Like Who? features several essays that engage critically with Devon's music and lyrics.
Dance Appeal was formed in 1991 in support of an application to the CRTC for Canada's first urban radio station. The bid was actually lost to a country station but the video, which features many Canadian stars of the era from multiple genres, did receive plays on MuchMusic.
