Meet Devon Gabriella, a 21-year-old singer-songwriter based out of San Luis Obispo, California. Her passion for music began at a young age and has grown ever since, with her inspirations including some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Taylor Swift, Lennon Stella and Gracie Abrams. Devon started making music in 2019 and released her first self-produced song in 2020. Since then, she has been putting out content regularly on her social platforms like TikTok, where she has amassed over 100k followers posting relatable content and videos singing to the camera.
Despite the difficulties that come with putting yourself out there, Devon has found joy in uploading videos of herself singing and having fun on social media. When asked if she has advice for other creatives, Devon advises to focus on consistency and to have fun with it. Instead of overthinking the process, just film yourself doing things you enjoy, like getting iced coffee or singing on your bed. Devon believes that if the music is meant to be heard, it will find its audience. Something Aurision completely agrees with.
Recently this past February, Devon released her latest single "get clean," which centers around her parents' separation. One morning Devon woke up with a lyric and melody in her head and ended up bringing into her session later that day. The songwriting process was so cathartic for Devon, her parents being the center of her world, her favorite people. She worked with Emily Haber and Daniel Omelio to help create the final version of the track, and put those feelings into a song. In the end, Devon says, she couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
Devon’s passion for music and drive to succeed is inspiring. Her dreams of touring and traveling the world while releasing new music are admirable and show just how much she loves what she does. With her talent and determination, there's no doubt that she will continue to achieve her goals and make a name for herself in the music industry.
