Dehvande was born and raised in Honiara. He is of mixed Solomon Islands heritage - Makira, Temotu and Malaita. He got his music name ‘Dehvande’ from his two names – first name Derrick [deh], and surname Vane [vande].

Growing up, he was so optimistic about the sound and rhythm of music. As a child, he would tap his toes, beat the spoon on the table, or bust out some mambo moves whenever he hears music. Dehvande has strong passion for music and has always been involved in the industry. He joined the popular band “ONETOX” in 2005, who then released their single “RAMUKANJI” which went viral on YouTube. The song definitely put Solomon Islands on the map in today’s music world. ONETOX band are still producing and releasing mega hits in the Solomon Islands and abroad. With the success of ONETOX, Dehvande (along with his fellow Onetox band members) entered the Radio Australia’s Pacific Break singing competition. His song “Everything” was chosen to represent Solomon Islands in the competition. Dehvande toured PNG during his years with Onetox and is looking forward to touring abroad as a solo artist. He is now working closely with Sharzy, Taina Gee, and with Dups & Liamz of Smars Da Sound productions to produce his new album. checkout Dehvande, Sharzy and Taina Gee's Playlist via www.supatriodeisles.com
