Devra is the creative project of Italian drummer and producer Fabio De Angelis, blending contemporary jazz, deep-groove language, hip-hop aesthetics and an exploratory approach to rhythm and sound. Built around collaboration and a strong sonic identity, Devra combines acoustic performance, modern production and improvised interaction, shaping a sound that feels both intimate and forward-thinking. Following the well-received debut EP — supported by tastemakers across the UK jazz and left-field soul scene — Devra returns in 2025 with On the Way, released on Root Records. The project explores the idea of movement, both physical and emotional, through collaborations with international artists such as Paul Grant, Jackson Mathod and The Offline. Each track is inspired by a real place connected to the musicians involved, reinterpreted through groove-driven arrangements, warm harmonic textures and a cinematic sense of space. The new EP has gained strong international radio support, receiving airplay on leading platforms including BBC Radio 2 (Jamie Cullum), BBC Radio 3 (‘Round Midnight), BBC 6 Music (Huey Morgan), and extensive rotation on Jazz FM, Soho Radio, Rinse FM and Jazz Re:freshed. Devra’s music has also appeared on stations across the US, Australia, Canada, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. Consisting of six original tracks — including the singles Mill Street Samba, On the Way, Vondelpark Bop and RSB Variations — the EP traces a journey through groove, storytelling and personal landscapes, expanding Devra’s identity while remaining rooted in rhythm, interplay and sound-driven expression.
