“He’s The Painter, I’m The Canvas.” Carlos Devone Embodies This. Over The Past 26 Years, God Has Been Faithfully Creating A Man Useful To Love And Build Up His People.

It Started In Jacksonville, Florida As The 90’S Opened. Carlos Grew Up, As Too Many Of Us Do, In A Broken Home, The Father Skipping Out Before The Son Could Process His Presence And Absence. Carlos’ Mother Remarried, But Domestic Violence Came Hand In Hand With The Wedding Vows. So Carlos Devone Turned To Sports, Finding Some Success As A Running Back. Football And School Took Him To Grinnell College In Iowa, Famous For Its Progressive And Top-Tier Academics. Ironically, It Was At This Proudly Secular School That God Grabbed Carlos Through A Christian Organization.

After A Number Of Injuries He Turned To Music To Express Himself And It Was Natural That His Music Focused On Sharing The Love And Forgiveness He Found In Jesus. He Began Recording And Has Since Released 9 Mixtapes. Having Recorded And Released Over 150 Tracks, Carlos Devone Has Developed His Sound And Is Starting 2016 Working On His First Studio Album. He Brings A Southern Hip-Hop Sound Paired With Influences From Across The Musical Spectrum, From Reggae To Rock, And Any Other Sound That Reaches Him.

As A Creative, A Leader In His Local Church, A Husband, And A Father, Carlos Devone’s Message Is Simple, Yet Profound. We Are Broken, But God Is Faithful.
