Born in Los Angeles early this century�Devon Thompson�comments that her earliest memory was punching through a pane of glass, to see if could.
Quite successful in this venture, profuse amounts of blood, stitches, parental trauma, and slight fear of her next move meant performance art was already championed. Growing up a pale, emaciated misfit,�Devon�found her home listening to music.
Early�Siouxsie, The Animals, The Cramps, Bill Evans�and�the Beatles�permeated her developmental years. By the age of 19,�Devon�had been playing Los Angeles clubs with her bands for many seasons. Longtime radio talent and music manager Christopher �The Minister� was referred to her early in 2020.
Having worked with talents in the dark wave world, Minister sent�Devon�to a veteran producer to get her creative ideas into recorded form. Her recordings are thus far lingering with the�Bel Canto of Roy Orbison, the�delicacy of Harriett Wheeler, and the�er aggression of PJ Harvey.
Today, Devon has released her new EP, SKIN HERE; catch her west coast tour this spring in the following cities: https://www.devonthompsonmusic.com/.
Listen/watch to Devon Thompson�s new single and video �I Love You But It Hurts Like Hell� HERE.
