Every songwriter worth his weight in catchy hooks has a story to tell-one that is gripping and compelling in its intensity. Raheem DeVaughn is that gifted storyteller; a young man with volumes of short stories that have found their way to The Love Experience, his stellar debut album, as well as his critically acclaimed follow-up, Love Behind The Melody.

DeVaughn’s story begins with music-his mother’s vinyl collection to be exact. “I always loved music so I would sneak into her record collection when she wasn’t around and play her stuff,” says DeVaughn. Although his parents were not together, his father, noted jazz musician Abdul Wadud, was an influence as well. “Music was just always around me”, says DeVaughn. “I can remember at a very young age, standing in my mother’s living room, listening to music and saying to myself, ‘I’m going to be an entertainer.’ It was that simple for me. I think I just always knew.”

The dream would have to wait some time to come to fruition. DeVaughn graduated from High Point High School in Beltsville, Maryland and then headed to nearby Coppin State. It was the first day of college that would change the course of his life. “I saw a group of guys standing outside singing, Boyz II Men style,” remembers DeVaughn. “I just went up there and started harmonizing with them. Before I knew what was going on, I was in a group, cutting class to write lyrics and record.

Raheem is a great artist and poet. This entire album is a must listen. My favorite is "Love Drug". Check it out with a glass of wine, strawberries(or fruit of your choice) and your favorite person. Trust me, you won't be sorry(LOL).
