Divine De'Vaughn AKA Divighn

Age: 33

Hometown: Gardena, CA

Resident: North Hollywood, CA

Nicknamed “Divine Devaughn” by his sister, Divighn grew up as the youngest of nine musical siblings in a household filled with harmonies and melodies. By age 10, he joined his three youngest siblings to form “The Anointed Rose Buds,” an a cappella group that recorded an album and performed across Los Angeles churches. This early experience gave him the confidence to audition for Broadway’s The Lion King at age 12, landing the role of young Simba—only to have his dreams temporarily paused after breaking his arm the day he received the congratulatory call.

 

While injuries played a recurring role in his journey, including two ACL reconstruction surgeries from youth basketball, Divighn turned setbacks into growth opportunities. During his recovery, he immersed himself in the performances of icons like James Brown, Frank Sinatra, Prince, and Michael Jackson, honing the skills that now define his electrifying stage presence.

 

Today, Divighn serves as the lead singer of the Soto Band, captivating audiences with four live performances weekly across East Los Angeles. Offstage, he channels his passion for health and wellness as a dedicated health coach, empowering others to achieve their fitness goals. His first client was his mother, whom he helped lose 25 pounds in just two months while she was on bed rest—a testament to his holistic approach to transformation.

 

Divighn’s story is one of resilience, artistry, and service, inspiring others to rise above challenges and pursue their passions. Whether performing on stage or coaching clients toward healthier lifestyles, Divighn lives to uplift and transform lives.
