Devolo is a New Zealand hip-hop performer of Tongan descent from South Auckland, best known as a member of the hip hop group Deceptikonz. He is signed to the Dawn Raid Entertainment music label.

Background

In 2008, his debut single "Somebody" became a top 10 hit on the NZ iTunes top songs for all genres and #1 on NZ iTunes top hip hop downloads. Later that year, his hit single "Too Shy" jumped from #38 to #6 in one week on New Zealand’s RIANZ Top 40 Singles Chart.^[1]

In 2009, the pop group The Pussycat Dolls asked Devolo to do a remix of their forthcoming single "Bottle Pop". He is also expected to appear on the song "Indulge Me" from the forthcoming^[when?] album Something Awesome by David Dallas.^{[citation needed]}

His debut solo album Heaven & Hell was released on March 2, 2009. But, it failed to make the charts, unlike its three singles.^[2]
