Devin's first big break came with his appearance on guitar
virtuoso Steve Vai's album, Sex & Religion on lead vocals. Devin
even featured on the album's front cover and also played guitar live with
Steve on the tour that followed. After witnessing first-hand the "dark
side" of the music business he left and formed SYL. Devin and Steve still
remain good friends and a majority of the City record was made at
Steve's "Mothership" recording studio.
