From Mic to Lens: The Unstoppable Journey of Ak40DEVIN

🎙 Meet Ak40DEVIN on The Mina Mendoza Show 🎙 This week, I’m sitting down with the multitalented Ak40DEVIN—an independent artist, videographer, director, and proud father from Rockland County, NY, whose journey in music and media is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode, we’ll dive into: • How his brothers sparked his passion for music at 16, leading to performances alongside legends like DMX, Rakim, and KRS-One. • His historic win as the first rapper to claim the “Coke-Save” at Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater. • How losing his job during the pandemic pushed him to master videography and content creation, landing opportunities with World Star Hip-Hop and celebrity barber Ceehaz. • The lessons he’s learned from grinding his way to success in both the music and videography worlds. From playing shows at iconic venues to filming for industry heavyweights like Dave East and Jim Jones, Ak40DEVIN is proof that hustle and adaptability can create unimaginable opportunities. Tune in to The Mina Mendoza Show for an episode filled with resilience, creativity, and the power of never giving up.
