Devanté—known to listeners as Fly Money Té—comes from a place that shapes you early. Born in Fresno, California and raised in Madera from the age of four, his story starts in the heart of the Central Valley. It’s a region where you learn balance young—between small-town life and big dreams, between staying grounded and wanting more.
Before music, there were sports and movement. Basketball, football, skateboarding—anything that let him burn energy and express himself. That same sense of motion would later show up in his music. At 15, while still in high school, Devanté began recording songs, pulling inspiration from everything he grew up hearing. His playlists weren’t boxed in: Tupac, 50 Cent, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Wiz Khalifa, alongside System of a Down and Metallica. Hip-hop, R&B, rock, metal—if it was good, it mattered.
That wide range is key to understanding Fly Money Té’s sound. He describes it as Wiz Khalifa energy mixed with A$AP Rocky’s edge, Tyga’s bounce, and YG’s West Coast confidence. It’s laid-back but sharp, smooth but street-aware. Music that feels at home riding through the city or playing late at night with the windows down.
Most of his work has been crafted in Hollywood and Los Angeles, where he’s recorded nearly his entire catalog with producer and engineer Zvbbv, a long-time collaborator who’s helped shape his sound from the ground up. The consistency shows—each track feels connected, like chapters of the same story.
Outside the studio, Devanté has always gravitated toward places that feel open and alive. Beaches. Amusement parks. Spaces where you can breathe, move, and let ideas wander. That freedom carries into his visuals as well, brought to life by his cameraman Lshoots, who’s helped turn concepts into real moments on screen.
His most recent release, “5 On It,” continues that run, backed by a music video available on his YouTube channel Fly Money TV. It’s another snapshot of where he’s at—confident, polished, and still hungry.
Looking ahead, Fly Money Té isn’t slowing down. He’s sitting on new music and plans to drop consistently throughout 2026, signaling a focused next chapter.
Above all, Devanté stays clear about what matters. He gives credit to his team, his family, his friends, and the supporters who press play and spread the word. And he puts God first, acknowledging that none of this happens alone.
