B. DeVeaux is a 21 year old non-binary, queer, Oakland Native. B. started singing at just 3 years old in their school choir, following after their older sister Ajali, and that’s when their family knew they had a voice! Soon after that, B. DeVeaux couldn’t do anything but sing! Their parents supported them and put them in any and every music opportunity they could find. However, it wouldn’t be until 2012, when they really started to manifest their craft. B. DeVeaux studied at Oakland School for the Arts (many well known artists are also alumna: Zendaya, H.E.R., Kehlani, & the list goes on!) for 7 years in the Vocal Department. While honing their musicianship, B. DeVeaux was able to learn music theory, music production, extensive performance training, choral training, solo voice training, and also, vocal direction. In their time at OSA, they had the privilege of performing and mentoring with the likes of Patrice Rushen, Kehlani, Adrian Marcell, Daveed Diggs, Ledisi, Tank & The Bangas, and many others. OSA also provided the unique opportunity to perform in the Oakland Fox Theatre annually which houses over 1500 people. While holding a spot as a soloist every year from 6th grade to 12th, B. DeVeaux also held a top spot in OSA’s premiere ensemble, Vocal Rush, the International Competition for High School Acapella’s (ICHSA) 4x champions (2 of which being won during their time in the group).
