DevoN Nickoles Gold Star
 

Maryland based devoN Nickoles is an emerging talent whose musical journey is deeply intertwined with her personal experiences and artistic vision. Growing up in a family with deep roots in the vibrant horse show community, devoN inherited the name from the renowned event (The Devon Horse Show & Country Fair) that takes place every Spring in the Philadelphia suburb. From the outset, DevoN’s artistic endeavors have been marked by a fusion of inspiration and creative energies by artists such as Taylor Swift and the harmonies of Florence and the Machine.

Being a true "road warrior" and having honed her craft through years of performing every weekend up until 2020, devoN found herself at a crossroads, grappling with the stored emotions of pursuing her musical dreams amidst the challenges of the pandemic. It was during this challenging period of reflection that the concept of "Gold Star" emerged, sparked by a poignant Instagram poem and a profound existential contemplation inspired by a simple sticker.

"Gold Star" marks a significant milestone in devoN Nickoles' sonic journey, representing her first foray into a project driven by personal expression rather than external expectations. Driven by her evocative lyrics and melodies, "Gold Star" takes audiences on a transcendent voyage of introspection and exploration, underscored by the symbolism of tarot cards signaling new beginnings and the courage to embrace uncertainty. Through meticulous attention to detail and a collaborative spirit, devoN and her team have crafted a music video that resonates deeply with audiences, inviting them to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and resilience. She is an artist that gives voice to the voiceless, hope to the weary.

The otherworldly music video for "Gold Star" is a collaborative effort with a team of dedicated individuals, some even students in videography courses, that encapsulate devoN's artistic evolution, from conception to realization. Set against the enchanting, bucolic backdrop of fields very near to her in the "Old Line State", the music video captures the essence of devoN's introspective journey, with multiple layers of symbolism and deeper meaning. Drawing inspiration from themes of self-discovery and the inherent duality of human nature, the visuals weave a narrative that transports viewers into a world both familiar and surreal, echoing the allure of Alice in Wonderland coalescing with your favorite scary movie.
