The Uncle Devin Show

Born in Washington, DC, and raised in the nearby suburb of Seat Pleasant, MD Uncle Devin was heavily influenced by the rhythms of the official music of DC, Go-Go, as well as Jazz, Bossa Nova, and conscious Hip Hop. He took over his brother's drum set at an early age and never looked back.

The Uncle Devin Show® is an interactive musical experience, taking children on a magical journey through the Land of Percussion. Driven by the desire to use his gifts to inspire children, Uncle Devin's purpose is to ensure a more loving, peaceful, and equitable world for all.

Uncle Devin was a GRAMMY Nominee as part of the 1 Tribe Collective’s album “All One Tribe” including his song, “A Go-Go Fun Day” in 2022.

As an activist, diversity trainer, and teaching artist, he developed a powerful presentation, Racism in Children's Music: Liberating Music for the Black Child!, exploring solutions to eradicate racist lyrics, cartoons, books, and more that are still harmful to this day.

He is also the creator of Watoto Entertainment & Education or WEE Nation Radio, a 24/7 online music radio program for children providing age-appropriate family music in R&B, Jazz, World music, and more, which culturally affirms and nurtures our future generation. In September 2022, "In the Pocket", one of the first children's Go-Go albums was inspired by the official music of Washington, DC Go-Go and it's legendary bands.

“...he’s connected with children of all races, many of whom are growing up on R&B and hip-hop, too. - Michael J. West / Washington Post

“Uncle Devin’s Drum Tales takes an innovative and progressive approach to music, self-awareness, confidence, and fun, and is a wonderful album that children, parents and educators will all find beneficial.” - Lahri Bond/ Parents Choice Award
