DeVaughn's musical story began with his mother's vinyl collection. "I always loved music so I would sneak into her record collection when she wasn't around and play her stuff." DeVaughn's father, noted jazz musician Abdul Wadud was also an influence. DeVaughn knew at an early age that he would become an entertainer.
DeVaughn graduated from High Point High School in Beltsville, Maryland; then headed to nearby Coppin State. It was the first day of college that changed the course of his life. "I saw a group of guys standing outside singing, Boyz II Men style," remembers DeVaughn. "I just went up there and started harmonizing with them. Before I knew what was going on, I was in a group, cutting class to write lyrics and record." After winning $2,000.00 in a talent show at Bar None, a Washington D.C. nightclub, DeVaughn decided to go for broke and invested all of his winnings into a CD burner. Several independent releases led to a showcase with Jive Records, and the career was on it's way.

I just wanna put this love on you
I just wanna put this love on you
I just wanna put this love on you
All I need is your lips
All I need is your kiss
And the things that's on your mind yeah
And I'm gonna need your hips in motion
While I do some things that's thought provokin'
As you feel the sweat trickling down your spine
I'm gonna need your waist to grind
Put those hips in these hands of mine
I'm gonna need that (need that) 50 shades of grey
I promise if you stay, while we lay
I'll put it on you in that
Sun proof room, a king size bed, your legs spread, wide
Baby if you let (let me) let (let me)
Swear I'll put that on you (I'll put it on you yeah)
Your body undressed, heart beating out your chest
My umbrella, when I make it rain
Woman if you let me, let me
I swear I'll put that on you
Baby no no no no intermission
Promise there'll be no need (no)
I plan to supersede girl
Raise the bar (raise the bar like number one)
