My name is Chris DeVito. I’m a 48 year old singer-songwriter from Brooklyn, NY who’s loved music all my life, yet never pursued it because I always felt I didn’t fit the mold. I was an over 40, 300lb woman, how could I possibly make it in the music business?

For many years, I felt depressed and alone. It was a very difficult time.
I hit rock bottom and my music reflected that. Lyrics about hating myself, not feeling worthy, wanting my life to end. My music became the only way I could express myself. It got me through some very dark times.

Then I lost my father to Covid and my entire world shattered. It was then that I truly understood how short and precious life is. I needed to make better choices for myself. I needed to make a change and not waste anymore time.

It took me almost a year to figure out how to piece my life back together. I started eating healthier and exercising. I started believing that my life mattered.

I’m now over 145lbs lighter, and have found the strength and courage to start pursuing my music again. Music truly saved my life. It helped me focus on something positive and productive. I’m not afraid of being rejected anymore. I’m not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone. Anything worth having is worth fighting for. It took me almost 50 years to realize that, and I will never let myself forget it.
