Never happier than when entertaining . . .

Years of learning, years of exams, now Okehampton’s Devon Pike is successfully establishing a career in music.

Devon, 22, comes from a musical background and at the age of four could find enough breath to get a sound out of his father’s tuba. This inspired him to learn the cornet with a natural progression to trumpet and along with piano, achieved his grade 8 ABRSM on all instruments. He is presently studying for his DipABRSM on the piano.

Devon is never happier than when he is entertaining. Adept in various genres of music from classical to big band, modern pop to easy listening, his expertise and growing repertoire on the piano has brought him to professional status, already playing in the public arena, seen here playing for a wedding fair at the Bedford hotel in Tavistock.

Music keeps Devon very busy, having a residency at a popular Torquay hotel/restaurant. He also performs regularly at a Plymouth residential home, where through his music and dance he brings pleasure and social interaction to the residents who look forward to his visits. The piano is an instrument of such versatility it suits any ambience, without the need of a full band or orchestra.

He also dances appellation and American flat footing with a team from Exeter who have performed all over the country, including the folk dance headquarters in London.
