Devon Howard
Indie R&B, Soul Singer/Songwriter/Producer
With a voice that blends smooth sensuality and timeless soul, Devon Howard is making waves in the indie R&B scene. The Baltimore native has built a career around his raw talent as a singer, songwriter, and producer, earning recognition with chart-topping hits and a reputation for crafting authentic, feel-good music.
Devon first caught the industry's attention as a member of the 90s RCA Records R&B boy band Me 2 U. Following the group's success, he went on to launch a successful solo career, drawing inspiration from iconic artists like Michael Jackson, Babyface, Stevie Wonder, and El DeBarge. His distinct style—edgy yet smooth, fresh yet nostalgic—has earned him accolades and a dedicated fanbase worldwide.
In 2022, Devon achieved major milestones with his singles "Forever and Always" and "Your Love Is," both of which hit #1 on The Indie Soul Charts in the U.S. and the U.K. His third single, "Wherever You Are" (2023), also reached the top 5 in the U.S., and in 2024 “Oh Love” and “Holding On” both reached #1 on the Indie Soul Charts solidifying his place in the R&B landscape. As a testament to his growth, Devon’s highly anticipated full-length album Morning Son (released March 5, 2024) debuted at #1 on Amazon’s R&B and Soul Sales charts and topped the UK’s Urban Influencer R&B Chart.
Morning Son is a collection of soul-stirring tracks that continues Devon’s exploration of love and relationships over smooth, mid-tempo grooves. Opening with a vibrant remix of "Forever and Always," the album flows seamlessly, offering sensual cuts like "You Know (I Want You)" and the groove-heavy anthem "Oh Love." The project culminates with two bonus remixes by Debonair Samir, adding an extra layer of excitement.
Throughout his career, Devon has not only made his mark musically but also visually. Working with industry legends like photographer Timothy White (Whitney Houston, Jay Z) and director Chris Robinson (Beyoncé, Usher), he has created visually stunning music videos that complement his unique sound. For Morning Son, Devon collaborated with filmmaker Alvin Gray on a series of videos that further elevate the album’s narrative and emotional depth.
Devon’s artistry doesn’t end with music and visuals—he is a philanthropist who has used his platform to advocate for foster children through Second Home Inc. and support various charitable organizations like the Red Cross and America’s Harvest. His community work includes organizing a compilation CD to raise funds for a youth shelter, showcasing his commitment to giving back and making a difference.
With a career that continues to soar, Devon Howard is an artist you don’t want to miss. His ability to blend old-school soul with modern sensibilities, combined with his undeniable vocal talent, makes him one of the most exciting voices in today’s R&B scene. The release of Morning Son is just the beginning of what promises to be a long and impactful journey in music.
