Devin Bronson (born Seattle, Washington, May 15, 1983) is a guitarist, songwriter and producer based in Los Angeles, having worked with artists such as Avril Lavigne, David Cook and Sebastian Bach. Bronson's versatility on stage and in the studio has risen him to success in a variety of musical platforms, including musical director, spokesperson and business entrepreneur.
Devin Bronson's path to success began at age 11 when he first began playing guitar. Soon after, Bronson was on stage with band mates years older than him. His natural talent eventually landed him a touring role at age 18 when he was asked to join Kelly Osbourne's touring band in 2002.
With international touring experience under his belt, Bronson joined Treble Charger for their Detox tour from 2003 to 2004, after the departure of lead guitarist Bill Priddle. Bronson was set to join the band in the studio for their 6th album when he accepted the invitation to take over as lead guitarist and musical director for Avril Lavigne's, which was previously held by Evan Taubenfeld.
Bronson's first performance with Avril Lavigne's band was at the 2004 Fashion Rocks! concert in New York where Avril performed 'Iris' by The Goo Goo Dolls with Johnny Rzeznik. Bronson was given only a few days to learn how to play the mandolin for that performance.
Bronson has since joined Lavigne on multiple world tours, TV appearances, music videos and the 2010 Olympic Closing Ceremonies. Most recently, Bronson appeared in Lavigne's video for "Here's to Never Growing Up".
Bronson took time in 2006 to tour with Ashley Parker Angel promoting his single during acoustic shows and TV appearances.
In 2007, Bronson and Taubelfeld began working on an album with producer John Fields for the band The Blacklist Club. The album was ultimate released as a solo album for Taubenfled entitled, "Welcome to the Blacklist Club". Bronson joined Taubenfeld for a full band show at the Roxy in LA and an acoustic set during Avril Lavigne's Fairfax, VA show in 2008.
