Darion Washington born (April 11, 1993) better known as Smook Deville was raised on the westside of Chicago by his mother in the early nineties. She is what kept him grounded and constantly told him to reach for his dreams until he could reach no further. From an early age Smook Deville has loved Hip Hop, R&B and Soul music. He always knew that he would seek out and establish a name for himself one day. At the age of 10 on his single mother's income he got the tools to get him started; a laptop, mic and a goal.

Fast forwarding to the present he has done that rightfully so in getting his name out on many social media outlets and to local businesses. He has had his time to show his skills at local clubs and events in his hometown Chicago and neighboring suburbs opening shows for major artist.

Smook was known around different neighborhoods for releasing songs and demo CD's. In late 2011 he released his first mixtape Falls Diary Vol.1. His follow mixtape in 2012 titled "G.O.O.D. the Illmatic Series which featured Yvette and Windows Up, Top Down. Early 2013 he released his third mixtape titled BB & BC's(Bad B*tches & Box Chevy's)with chicago producer Diego which featured Only For Us and Good Day. Both songs has done well on media outlets such as MTV and national radio stations across the united states.

Media outlet such as Twitter, Facebook and Soundcloud has been a successful tool for self promotion. Most rewarding is when his songs are acknowledged by individuals via the media outlets and in person. His hard work has paid off with some notable producers and artists reaching out to him to inquire about future tasks and collaborations.

In Smook Deville's own words, "He is one of the dopest Chicago born musicians" out here today. He takes nothing from those who have gained notoriety in the music industry from Chi-town but matter-of-factly he has his own style that can't be duplicated unless you're reading his lines verbatim and pretending to be him.
