Devilman — producer, DJ and grime/drum & bass MC — is based in Birmingham, United Kingdom. He works across UK bass styles (listed by the artist as drum and bass, jungle, grime, UK garage, ragga/reggae and related forms) and is associated with SIKA Records. His best-known release is the 2014 single "Drum And Bass Father", credited to Devilman & DJ Looney; that track went viral and has accrued tens of millions of streams across Spotify and YouTube.
Public biographical detail about Devilman is limited, but the record of his early output and performances is clear. Around 2011–2012 he released several mixtapes — titled Re-Development, The New Development and Devilman’s Diary — which are cited in press and booking material. From those releases and subsequent bookings he became described in coverage as a pioneering figure within the Birmingham grime scene. He has performed widely at clubs, raves and festivals in the UK.
On record and in performance Devilman occupies the space between grime MCing and faster UK bass tempos. He is credited as the vocal lead on "Drum And Bass Father" (2014), with DJ Looney handling production on that single; that credit line establishes Devilman’s role as an MC who fronts productions as well as appearing in DJ/producer collaborations. Public sources do not provide detailed studio-session or mixdown notes, so descriptions of specific production techniques must be cautious: available material shows him operating as a front-line vocalist and collaborator rather than being widely credited as a sole producer on major releases.
Stylistically his work ties grime-style vocal delivery to drum & bass/jungle rhythms and UK bass aesthetics listed in his genre set. The early mixtapes (Re-Development, The New Development, Devilman’s Diary) document that phase of his output and support his reputation for energetic MCing across fast-tempo sets. The 2014 Devilman & DJ Looney single is the clearest commercial example of his cross-genre positioning: it pairs his vocal performance with a producer’s drum-and-bass framework and reached a large online audience.
Collaborations and label ties are part of his public footprint: SIKA Records appears in press materials as an associated label, and DJ Looney is the named collaborator on his most-streamed single. Beyond those credits, reliable public sources do not list a legal/real name for Devilman and do not detail further production credits or named artistic influences. The verifiable milestones to cite are the 2011–2012 mixtapes (Re-Development; The New Development; Devilman’s Diary), the 2014 single "Drum And Bass Father" (Devilman & DJ Looney) with its viral streaming reach, his Birmingham base, his billing as a grime and drum & bass MC, and his performance history at clubs, raves and festivals.
