Bio

Benton Harbor is A small city in western Michigan.

While first exploring his talents as a naturally gifted vocalist and promising songwriter in middle school, his determination to persevere was later put to the test when he was incarcerated for his involvement in a home invasion at age 15. While serving time on Home invasion charges ,Ciroc Devito 2x decided to not only get his G.E.D. but to dial down on his passion for music, going on to commit to his craft with a newfound focus.

As he allures fans in with his raw, unfiltered story, Ciroc Devito 2x thrives in the crossroads where contradiction and vulnerability meet, often shifting between serenading his significant other and boldly threatening those who test his street savvy.

Not one to take second chances for granted, upon his release from jail in May 2018, Devito 2x decided to move to Kalamazoo , welcoming the next chapter of his life with a hunger that would result in some of his best music to date being created. In May 2019,Devito 2x released his debut project,Welkum 2 DashVille , a cohesive 7-track project that has since racked up Hundreds of streams across platforms, further solidifying that he is destined for something much larger than his at-times dispiriting and deterring hometown had wanted him to believe. The project’s title doubles as a personal mantra, often reminding him to find a personable common ground with others and to adapt to different situations as best as possible, all while remaining true to one’s self.

From being convicted a case that could have resulted in a 15-year sentence to creating a platform that he hopes to share with other artists, including his brother from another mother Trey Devito Yarbrough , Ciroc Devito 2x is working to make his favorite rapper idol Kevin Gates proud and inspire others to reach their potential.
