Dev Biography
Dev, born Devin Star Tailes, is an American singer, songwriter, and radio personality known for her electropop and hip-hop-influenced sound, which contributed to the evolution of club music. She was discovered by the Cataracs and record label Indie-Pop through Myspace after a friend posted a video of her singing. After relocating to Los Angeles, Dev collaborated with the Cataracs on several tracks, including "2Nite," "Fireball," and "Booty Bounce." The latter was sampled by Far East Movement for their single "Like a G6."
"Like a G6" features Dev on the hook and was released as the lead single from Far East Movement's album "Free Wired." The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for three non-consecutive weeks, marking a milestone for Asian-American artists. The hook originates from Dev's track "Booty Bounce." Her collaborations with the Cataracs led to featured appearances on tracks by artists such as Martin Solveig, Travis Barker, and David Guetta.
Dev signed with Universal Republic and released her debut single, "Bass Down Low," which entered the top ten of the United Kingdom charts. Her debut album, "The Night the Sun Came Up," included the single "In the Dark," which peaked at number 11 on the U.S. chart. She was also featured on Demi Lovato's album "Unbroken" on the song "Who's That Boy."
Dev released two EPs, "Bittersweet July" and its follow-up, and became a radio host on Beats 1 by Apple Inc. She promoted her second album with the single "#1" featuring Nef the Pharaoh, which reached the top 15 on the Billboard Rhythmic Songs chart. Her second studio album, "I Only See You When I'm Dreamin'," marked her return to full-length projects and includes singles such as "All I Wanna Do" and "Come at Me." Dev has continued to release music, with singles including "Mango," "Menina Bonita," "Y COMO YO," "Summer," and "Tilt." Her career spans viral discovery, chart-topping singles, and ongoing contributions to pop and electronic music.
