Caleb Vercher, born October 31st 1990,
better known by his stage name Little Devil aka L.D Diablo
he raps, sings, produces and plays piano an guitar.
He first started rapping at 10 years old.
Through his writing of poetry he used words to express his anger and resentment of life, how he was bullied in school and the domestic violence that he had to deal with at home. As a result of his harsh upbringing he became highly mistrustful of almost everything & everyone, he was volatile aggressive with a very short fuse, quick to take offense, and always very serious with no sense of humour.
In his younger years before undertaking study at CASM (Centre For Aboriginal Studies In Music) his lyrics were often vitrolic and bleak.
He expressed alot of frustations and opinions on his life of foster care and often living on the streets, surviving the harsh conditions of sleeping in parks on cold winter nights. Believing he would be better there then the abusive foster homes he had been placed in. At 12-13, Caleb had the opportunity to meet Simplex from Terra Firma at Hip Hop workshop in Ingle Farm where he showed great lyrical skill in freestyling against other teenage opposition.
Simplex was very impressed an invited Caleb to do a one on one songwriting workshop at Da Klinic, which Caleb was very keen to get involved in and decided to partake.
There he learned to beatbox and develop his songwriting skills even further.
Shortly after this Caleb was introduced to OTP(Only Talented People)
Through them he recorded two EPs consisting of three songs along with their instrumental versions.
The first was recorded in 2004 and was called "Keep You Head Up" and the second EP called "Fight Back" was recorded in 2007.
He was also involved in some workshops made to help inspire teenagers into music through recording songs together as a group, through which he participated in five of these recordings.
Two particular of these groups of teenagers were known as "Prescribed Rapture" and "Up North Collaboration".
Around the same time Caleb had started undertaking study in Foundation In Music at Northern Sound System doing regular performances, first of which was in 2005
on October 31st where he performed the song "Rock These Charts" in front of 500 people mostly consisting of government officials.
In 2008 a couple of months after recording the "Fight Back" EP he auditioned for CASM at the University of Adelaide and was successful in getting accepted.
Upon his first year he achieved status as the highest achiever for the foundation year in his course.
In 2010 he had a music video clip recorded and produced by Antony Cirroco Productions called "(Can't) Keep Us Down"
While studying at CASM he performed at a variety of complexes including the Adelaide Convention Centre for a corporate event, Tandanya on various occasions including Survival Day and Rundle Mall.
He also performed his songs "Fight Back" and "(Can't) Keep Us Down" alongside Karnage & Darknis for their album launch at The Kings Hotel. In 2011 Caleb successfully obtained Associate Diploma In Aboriginal Studies in Music.
He has gone on to study a Bachelor of Popular Music & Creative Technologies also at the University of Adelaide which he hopes to complete by the end of next year, and is currently working on his debut album "Empires Rise, Empires Fall" which he hopes to release at the end of this year.
Lyrically he is inspired by rappers such as Immortal Technique, Lowkey, Jedi Mind Tricks & Hopsin and bands like Nickelback, Nirvana, Black Sabbath, Metallica, , WASP, Scorpions, Poets Of The Fall, Silverchair, Muse, Iron Maiden, Linkin Park, Red Hot Chili Peppers & Rage Against The Machine.
His future plans include completing his course which is a 3 year Bachelor, as well as releasing his album and working on another one.
He also plans to travel to France in the near future as he says "it is the Hip Hop capital of the world and if you wanna make it in this industry that's where you should be".
Once he's performed there he wants to spread out all over Europe and then the world and hopes to make himself successful and uses that success to start his own record label and help other up and coming artists succeed in this industry.
