About Anonymous Musician D'Vo
n.e.r.d. life by D’Vo is an anonymous musician who makes Experimental Hip Hop and Neo Soul music. He is the creator of the Hip Hop Series, “The Codex,” which allows him the opportunity to share his gift of song. D’Vo harnesses his passion to serve God while offering messages of hope, peace, and love within his music.
​
n.e.r.d. life by D’Vo is an acronym for “Needing Enteral Redemption and Deliverance.” This is a recurring theme within his musical projects where he affirms his purpose to show the world that God is the answer to all things. Not only is he a solo artist, but D’Vo is also the lead singer and emcee of Global Rhythm, a soul-fusion funk band from around the world. The band consists of D’Vo and worldwide musicians, Master Pe (Brazil) and OB3ple (Sweden), spreading positive messages through their music and creating nostalgic jazz and funk-fusion in their sound.
D’Vo has garnered his craft for making music from childhood. His musical taste varies from different generations and genres with modern artists like Post Malone and Drake to legendary classics such as Tupac Shakur and R&B-Soul artist Maxwell, driving him to continue making a mixture of Hip Hop, R&B, and Soul, with a level amount of Jazz. D’Vo is working under his own label, Element 11, Inc. which allows him creative freedom not only in his music but in his lyrics.
“There is not enough positivity in music to combat all the negativity in the world.” D’Vo urges that his desire for more positive messages helps him to create better content in his music. He emphasizes this in the song “Halitosis,” the first of many animated music videos created to tell the story and theme of “The Codex Hip-Hop Series.” D’Vo actually uses custom comics of his
character to tell the story in his music and plans to release more animated footage to connect with listeners. As a faceless and anonymous musician, it's important to use art to express and communicate visual messages to his audience.
The first volume of “The Codex: I’ve Got Next” was released on December 22, 2019, featuring Hip Hop, Pop, Jazz, and Soul, creating a perfect blend of experimental music for his audience. Volume II, “The Codex: Running The Point,” dropped April 11, 2020, featuring G-Funk style in the music itself; offering that famous Houstonian, swangin' sensation.
​
The Codex: Court Vision is the third album to join The Codex Series, released on Sept. 14, 2021.
