Career
Deva was raised in East Ham, London and has 2 half sisters and 3 half brothers. She had a troubled and turbulent childhood, leaving home when she was 9 years old. Her godmother influenced her life greatly, getting her on the path to music.
Deva's career started at the age of eleven at the Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch, Essex. A cover of Sublime's "Summertime" was her first performance in a live band and totally unrehearsed, she performed one more time there at the age of thirteen. Deva went on to write her own lyrics and later recorded a demo on her friends 8 track console. Her first band was called Mad Dog, a punk group in which she was co-vocalist. She only did one show with the band, in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, supporting legendary punk band 999. Paul and Dani, founders of extreme metal band Cradle of Filth would later meet Deva through mutual friends.
After leaving Cradle of Filth in 2009, Deva started her self-titled solo project with Ken Newman and signed a deal with a small British record company. A Sign of Sublime was released on February 15, 2010. A Europe and UK tour followed inclusive of a performance at Femme Metal Festival.
After various issues with the label, Deva left the record company and joined forces with Dan Abela, a musician and producer. Together, they co-wrote The Corruption of Mercy after signing a 3 album record deal with Listenable Records in March 2011.
