This list merely builds on to the amount of prosperity the Afrobeat DJ has received.
Afrobeat Mixes that DJ Devious Remix has created not only attracts many people, but it has also blessed him with a huge fan following across the globe. His Afrobeats mix under the title “In Da Jungle” has broken all records of success worldwide. When asked about his inspiration, not only the afrobeat but also his career as a DJ overall, he said that he inspires DJ Premier, Quest Love, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Clue, Gary Vaynerchuck Timbaland. He plans to continue to expand his talent globally and become a platinum producer.
After receiving such groundbreaking success on his Afrobeats creative blends, DJ Devious Remix’s mixes were co-signed by eminent Afrobeats artists: L.A.X and Eltee Skhillz as they promoted the DJ’s music to their own fan bases. Due to this, DJ Devious Remix’s own fan base increased exponentially in a matter of months.
In these advanced times, people are very picky while supporting a specific artist because if they do, they are all in. Fans are an artist’s best marketers. However, it is very important to produce something that the producer likes while keeping their own identity intact. Many artists are not able to have that balance and the ones that do, are winning this game. DJ Devious Remix successfully poises the ability to keep a hold of both which is one of the reasons for his growth in the industry. Not to forget his commitment, as mentioned above. Even after receiving fame, the DJ pursues growth in his genre and topics related to his career instead of letting the fame get to his head. That is also a quality to be admired.
Also, one of the things that stand out about DJ Devious Remix is that popularity is not his goal. He knows that popularity and money are merely by-products of him improving and working on his passion and skills. Therefore, he preferred sharing his story on podcasts rather than on platforms searching for attention. The DJ wants respect over fame and he got it. On top of that, he received love and became an inspiration for thousands of people. He is a living example who proves hard work and commitment takes us a long way.
Now, let us discuss what the DJ is doing and have been doing.
Public places are mostly closed or are allowing a minimum of people to participate. When recently asked, DJ Devious Remix replied that during COVID-19, just like most DJ’s and other professions, he was out of work from the resident Pub Bar he usually mixed at, along with a Brewery. Moreover, he also mixed as one of the three selected DJ’s for silent disco parties. However, these days, he could only take advantage of so much free time by working on his craft and staying focused so he wouldn’t get discouraged. He took that opportunity to work on numerous remix blends and mixes. Plus, he can also utilize this time to work on his digital platforms and connect with many more fans of his work online. He had mentioned that he was able to channel his energy and downtime to take his talent and audience to the next level due to which he has recently gained popularity on Apple Podcasts. By putting in his blood, sweat and tears, and personalizing his remixes according to his audience’s preferences, the DJ has stolen many hearts. It shows how even the pandemic cannot stop a person from growing and achieving their dreams.
Besides collaborating with Ryan Verneuille on the popular radio show called “The Ryan Show”, DJ Devious Remix is known for regularly upgrading his various fans and colossal list of supporters on social media. But when he shared his most recent Remix Blend titled: Lights, Camera, Action by the legendary hip hop artist Mr Cheeks, this exciting and ancient school vibe mix caught the attention of Mr Ryan who promptly reached out to DJ Devious Remix in asking for collaboration to discharge this remix on their radio appear.
While announcing the news, DJ Devious Remix says, “After posting my release on my Instagram feed the Host and president Ryan Verneuille approached me. He told me he checked out the remix on my YouTube channel and thought the Remix Blend was on fire.”
All in all, the DJ’s commitment is to discover more information around the culture behind the distinctive sub-genres of music since he accepts that it may be a never-ending look. He looks to form unique and different remixes that have never been invented or discovered.

Notes from the Heart: Lartist Yan on Music, Motivation, and ‘Second Chance’
By Mj Toledo
US rising singer, songwriter, producer, and beatmaker Lartist Yan has always believed that music is a universal language, and his recent rise in the industry proves he’s fluent in it. With his new hit song “Second Chance” and upcoming tour, fans nationwide eagerly anticipate his old-school soul and contemporary flair, as Lartist Yan blends genres such as Country Blues, Reggae, Pop, RnB/Soul, Ballad, Folk, and Soul/Blues into his captivating performances. The rising star discusses his songwriting process and how he is turning real-life challenges into chart-topping hits that speak to the soul.
Q: Can you share the creative process behind “Second Chance”? What inspired the melody and lyrics?
Lartist Yan: Of course. “Second Chance” was quite an experience for me. It all started one night when I was sleeping, and I suddenly heard this melody playing in my ears, as if someone was playing it to me from afar. It was a mysterious, compelling melody that demanded to be heard. I immediately woke up and started working on it, trying to capture the essence of what I had heard in my dream.
The lyrics were born from a personal experience of betrayal and disappointment. I had been let down by someone I loved at the time, and this song became a way for me to process those emotions.
But more than just expressing pain, I wanted “Second Chance” to offer hope. The message is that everyone deserves a second chance and that failure can often be the beginning of something great.
Q: Your music is like a combination of various genres. How do you balance these different influences in your songwriting?
Lartist Yan: What an interesting question. I really do not have a strict formula. I just let my inner self guide me. Listening to so many genres gave me a broad musical palette to work.
When I write a song, I naturally draw from these influences, picking elements that best express the emotion or story I am trying to convey.
We should not confine music to rigid genre boundaries. Instead, I aim to create a sound that is authentic to me, often resulting in a fusion of styles. For example, in “Second Chance,” you will hear elements of old-school RnB mixed with modern pop production techniques. This honors my musical roots while also creating something fresh.
Q: “Second Chance” has quickly climbed the charts in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK). Why do you think listeners love it so much?
Lartist Yan: I believe the universal theme of hope and redemption in “Second Chance” resonates most with listeners. We have all experienced setbacks in life, and the idea that we can bounce back and deserve another opportunity speaks to people. I am truly humbled and grateful that “Second Chance” has touched so many people and found its way onto the charts.
Q: You have mentioned multiple times that your music addresses real-life challenges. How do you translate personal experiences into chart toppers?
Lartist Yan: Translating personal experiences into universal themes is at the heart of my songwriting process. I believe that even though our individual experiences are unique, many often share the emotions we feel.
When I write about a personal challenge or situation, I focus on the emotions and the broader lessons learned rather than getting caught up in specific details that only apply to me.
For example, with “Second Chance,” I think about how others might relate to my feelings and what words or melodies might resonate with them. It is about finding the common thread in our human experiences so listeners can see themselves in the music, even if their circumstances differ.
Q: Can you tell us about your upcoming single, “The Wave of Love”? How does it differ from or build upon “Second Chance”?
Lartist Yan: While “Second Chance” focuses on themes of redemption and new beginnings, “The Wave of Love” explores the power of genuine, true love and how authentic love can impact our lives.
Musically, “The Wave of Love” builds upon the soulful foundation of “Second Chance” but introduces new elements that reflect the song’s theme. You will hear a more expansive sound. I cannot wait for everyone to listen to it and experience this new aspect of my artistry.
Q: You’ve won several prestigious awards before releasing your first single. How have these accolades impacted your career?
Lartist Yan: Winning those awards in Russia was a turning point for me. It was not just about the recognition; it also gave me a huge confidence boost in my abilities as a performer.
When starting, you often doubt yourself, wondering if you have what it takes. But standing on those stages, receiving the Golden Voice of Russia and the other awards, was like a confirmation that I was on the right path.
Those accolades also opened up a lot of doors for me. I got to share the stage with some major stars in Moscow, which was an incredible learning experience. It exposed me to a broader audience and helped me understand what it takes to perform consistently at a high level. But more than anything, it fueled my passion to keep pushing, improving, and bringing my music to an even bigger stage – which is why I am so excited about my move to the U.S. market now.
Q: As both a songwriter and beatmaker, how do you approach the production process for your tracks?
Lartist Yan: It is very organic and intuitive. It usually starts with a feeling or an experience I want to express. Sometimes, like with “Second Chance,” the melody comes to me in a dream, and I build from there.
Other times, I will start with a beat or a chord progression that captures the emotion I am trying to convey. I do not like to force the process. I believe the best music comes when you let it flow naturally.
Q: How do you balance creating personally meaningful and commercially appealing music?
Lartist Yan: That is a great question, and I think about it a lot. For me, the key is to always start with authenticity. If a song is significant to me, if it comes from a genuine place of emotion or experience, then it has the potential to connect with others. That connection is what makes music commercially appealing in the long run.
Of course, I am not naive about the realities of the music industry. I pay attention to trends and what is resonating with audiences. But instead of trying to copy what is popular, I look for ways to incorporate those elements into my style.
Q: You’re preparing for your first U.S. tour. What can fans expect from your live performances?
Lartist Yan: I am incredibly excited about my first U.S. tour. Regarding the setlist, I’ll perform songs from my debut album, including ‘Second Chance,’ some memorable covers, and tracks from my debut EP. I also plan to include interactive elements to connect with the audience.
My band and I have been rehearsing extensively to guarantee that we deliver a tight, energetic show that brings the studio recordings to life. Whether you are a long-time fan or new to my music, I promise an unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling uplifted and inspired.
We will start the “Discover Me” Tour in Los Angeles, then head to Washington, D.C., and New York City. After that, we will be in Seattle, Chicago, and wrap up in Dallas in 2024-2025.
Q: What are your long-term goals as an artist, and how do you plan to achieve them?
Lartist Yan: My long-term vision is to become a global artist who can touch people’s lives through music, regardless of where they are from or what language they speak. I also want to create music that entertains and brings positive change.
To achieve these goals, I am focusing on a few key things. First, I am constantly working on my craft – writing, producing, and performing as much as possible to keep improving. I am also very committed to building genuine connections with my audience through music and platforms like social media.
The upcoming tour is a big part of this strategy. It is about getting out there and connecting with people face-to-face. It is a long journey, and I am excited about every step of it.
For longtime fans and new listeners, the upcoming US artist’s music provides a fresh take grounded in real experiences. With a new song and an upcoming tour in the pipeline, the world is about to get a “Second Chance” at falling in love with music all over again through Lartist Yan.
