Devitto has extensive experience in the music industry which has been acquired over his 15+ years of doing music. His musical journey began when he began writing songs at the age 15 while still in high school. At that point he formed his first group “Throwing Stones”.

The Dynasty then began doing performances which lead to a record deal. The deal translated into the classic Salem album “North West Finest” which was recorded in 1997 but was officially released in 2000. After group-related issues, Devitto broke from the group and began his solo career.
