The music of Northern California-bred Kyd the Band (real name Devin Guisande) is an ideal soundtrack to finding your place in an often-chaotic world, and radiates a hard-won positivity that inspires anyone to live more boldly. Born into a family in the Pentecostal Church, Devin got his start playing drums. At age 16 he co-founded a band with his brother Kyle and began writing songs of his own, relying entirely on instinct rather than mining influence from other artists (“I didn’t know who Kanye West was till I was 18,” notes Guisande, who couldn't watch movies or listen to secular music). Over the next two years, Guisande experienced a life-changing transformation as he left the church he was raised in and moved away from home heading to Los Angeles.
