Vicky Devine

Vicky Devine was one of the first female trance DJs to breakout of the UK. Taking herself to Ibiza in 2000, she went forward to create a successful career which led to her becoming the main room resident at Judge Jules’s infamous Judgement Sundays events at Eden Ibiza where she remained for over ten years.

Touring the world several times over and releasing music on a myriad of high profile labels, Vicky went on to launch her own label, presented a monthly radio show, became an interviewer and reporter for both TV and Radio and promoted a range of events both in Ibiza and in affiliation with tours around the globe.

Progressing eventually to managing other artists and currently holding an A&R, Licensing and Artist Management position at True love Music Publishing as well as continuing to perform and produce as an artist in her own right, Vicky’s hard work is testament to her love of all things dance music and is just one of the many reasons she continues to be at the forefront in today’s dance music scene.

The History….

Vicky has been involved in music in some capacity throughout most of her life. Reaching Grade 6 in Piano and playing classical guitar throughout her school years, she was quickly enticed into the dance music world and has worked within the industry ever since. Beginning as a club reviewer and interviewer for a variety of dance music magazines, she then went on to work in promotional roles for a number of UK based events. There was always a DJ inside though and she was soon behind the decks spending hours after college learning how to mix. This coupled with her passion for music, endless enthusiasm and her gritty determination helped build her career and established her as a well respected DJ and producers in the dance music scene. As a result Vicky has gone on to wow fans in the UK and indeed around the world, with a reputation built on her uplifting yet driving sets which span a variety of genres and incorporate elements of trance, tech and progressive.
