“Devin Ilaw is a UNICORN: a beautiful, magical creature that brings joy to everyone who has the pleasure of meeting him. He approaches everything in his life with mindfulness, appreciation, dedication, passion, and grace and infuses that into his work on stage, his voice lessons, and his relationships. Devin is a complete artist. He has the technique, knowledge, talent of the highest caliber, combined with the imagination, playfulness, and resilience necessary to continuously grow and evolve. His ethics inspire his students and fellow performers to work harder and challenge themselves to reach farther into the unknown parts of themselves to become better performers and also better humans. Devin Ilaw is the gift that keeps on giving - a gift I am endlessly grateful for.”
