This is a De'Vine Production

College student by day and music producer/fine arts mogul by night, I was so impressed with the creative wonders of Ms. De'Vine Alexand[h]er that I was moved to interview her about holistic artistry and projects with her lyrical counterpart, Luci M. Here are some excerpts from the article:

Young, gifted musicians and producers, Luci M. and De'Vine Alexand[h]er have music in their blood. Singer, songwriter, rapper, and engineer...and this is just their beginning.

They’ve been best friends for six years and their birthdays are so close together (one day apart), you’d think that they are sisters. Within their musical unity, both women stay busy on top of their artistry.

Novlette Lee aka De’Vine Alexand[h]er is a nice young lady with ambitious dreams to excel in music and fine arts. Lee grew up around music and has come to embrace it as her own, as her father is a DJ and her mother kept her vocals proper in her home church choir. When she says she loves art, she means every aspect of it and shows it to the world.

Luci M. was born not just in the Bronx, but also into this world knowing that she wanted to be a singer. Just like her best friend, she also grew up singing in the church. Her mother’s spidey senses tingled as she came the the realization that her daughter has something special. She sang her first solo at the tender age of 10 in her children choir and kept stepping up into her Sunday school’s worshiping team and eventually the adult choir. She began working with different people and bringing out her own style of music to cater to all genres. At 17 years old, Luci M. and De’Vine decided to pursue their music. Miss M had an R&B album in 2007. Now she is working part-time at home while working on her second album, which is mostly reggae.

Their best songs can be heard on their music page . “Put it On Me,“ “Get Pan Mi Level,“ and ‘The Female Anthem” are their most popular tracks among their friends, family, and fans. Some of their songs are composed of sampled dance hall beats, harmonic unison, and lyrics that roll off the tip of their tongues. Their most recent uploaded track is “Life into Me,“ which is a slowed down, yet rhythmic, hip shaking love song and introduces their newest artist, Rejean Smith.
