Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
In the absence of new releases from groups like the Fugees and the Black Eyed Peas, the D.E.Y. has stepped up to fill the void. Composed of MCs Divine and Yeyo and singer Elan, the bilingual Latin trio’s fusion of hip-hop, pop, R&B and Afro-Latin rhythms mesh with soaring vocals. Their witty lyrics touch on everything from political corruption and racial profiling to catcalling and sexual tension.

The threesome formed three years ago when a member of Divine and Yeyo’s management team introduced them to the pint-size songbird. “We were at a Latin showcase in Miami called Soulfrito. It was the first time I saw Elan perform and it just felt so natural, like we should come together for one common cause,” explains Divine.

Prior to coming together, though, the members of D.E.Y. had all been individually leaving their marks in their respective markets. Divine, 25, born in the Bronx to Puerto Rican parents, had been working with Afro-Cuban hip-hop group Yerbabuena; he penned their Grammy-nominated hit “Guajira (I Love You Too Much).” Half-Puerto Rican, half-Cuban Yeyo, also 25, was making a name for himself in the underground Latin rap scene with his political rhymes. New York-bred Puerto Rican / African American Elan, 22, was singing back-up for salsa singer Huey Dunbar, with whom she had collaborated on a duet titled “Sin Poderte Hablar.” The song appeared on his Grammy-nominated album “Music for My Peoples.”
