Now that he has signed a label deal with SRC/Universal Motown, we are confident that with his experience in artist development, the artist we put out on Upfront will be nothing but the best," stated SRC CEO, Steven Rifkind, via a press release.

Do you have any contact information for Devyne Stephens? I'm currently eyeing some real estate in the Ft. Greene area of Brooklyn, and I want to turn it into an artist development and retreat center, much like what Stephens has created in Atlanta. Do you know if he would be willing to offer any advice or serve as a mentor?
