Bethany Devine was the youngest of ten children in a gifted and talented family. “Music was a part of almost every aspect of our lives, and we appreciated a wide range of musical genres.” A classically trained vocalist with a musical background that spans several genres, Bethany began singing in the children’s choir at her pastor father’s church at the tender age of 5. Early performance influences included the Hawkins Family, the Clark Sisters, Andre Crouch, and the Winans Family. Secular influences were Prince; Earth, Wind, and Fire; Whitney Houston; Anita Baker, and Aretha Franklin. At age 12, Bethany teamed up with family and close friends to start a successful gospel music group called Divine. During her tenure with the group, she began to explore creativity in song arrangement and examine the fundamentals of song development. Divine’s electrifying performances opened doors for the group to travel nationally, and garnered them an appearance on the prestigious Stellar Awards in the late 1990s. After taking a hiatus from Divine to pursue a college degree in Finance, Bethany is now on track and focused again in singing. Accomplishing what she sees as her spiritual mission, Bethany is providing her audiences with a chance to listen to live inspirational music drawn from a diverse and exciting song list that includes her own original songs. Bethany’s performances typically feature her accompanied by keyboard, bass guitar, and drums, although she is available with larger ensembles including full band and backup singers.
