I was born in New York City just about two decades ago, and I spent pretty much my entire minorhood there as well. I started my music career at seven singing with the Metropolitan Opera Children's Choir, where I stayed until twelve when my voice started to change. Around then I started to write as well as sing, and I finished my first song at thirteen (which is now the fourth track on my debut album). In 2003 I worked with Don Rosler on the Latin lyrics for several chorale pieces written by Bobby McFerrin and Roger Treece. I recorded my first demo a year later in 2004, working with such renowned musicians as David Rozenblatt, Matt Fieldes, Mike Aarons and Adam Ben-David. However, most of my acclaim in the humanities world has come from my work as an author and poet. I currently hold the record for New York State regional Scholastic writing awards with eleven gold keys and two silver keys, as well as two national gold keys, two national silver keys and the James B Reston outstanding writing portfolio award. Currently I am a third year student at Harvard University, concentrating in Government and East Asian studies, and this past April I released my debut album, She Makes Noise, which can be previewed and purchased at www.devavidon.com, iTunes, digstation.com or CDbaby.com. WOXII was so kind as the to remix the last track for us, which you can hear here.
