as Michael JacksonBabyfaceStevie Wonder, and El DeBarge. His style is characterized by smooth, sensual vocals and a f

In recent years, Devon has made waves in the indie R&B scene with his singles "Forever and Always" and "Your Love Is," both of which reached #1 on The Indie Soul Charts in the U.S. and the U.K. His third single, "Wherever You Are," also performed well, peaking at #4 in the U.S..


In March 2024, he released his highly anticipated full-length album "Morning Son," which debuted at #1 on Amazon’s R&B and Soul Sales charts. The album features a collection of soul-stirring tracks that explore themes of love and relationships, showcasing his growth as an artist. 

Conclusion

Devon Howard continues to establish himself as a significant figure in the R&B genre, combining his rich musical heritage with 

modern influences to create a unique sound. His dedication to his craft and ability to connect with audiences through his music
