Mighty Song Writers: Devon Gilfillian Covers Marvin Gaye And Says What Stephen King Taught Him
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) This week's Mighty SONG Writers video comes from recent Capitol Records signee Devon Gilfillian, whose current single, "The Good Life," has made the Top 10 at AAA Radio and who has performed with Mavis Staples, Keith Urban, The Fray, and more.

In his video, Gilfillian plays stripped-down versions of a few songs, covers Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," and talks about writing lessons he learned from reading Stephen King and from a formative fourth-grade teacher.

The Mighty SONG Writers series aims to raise money to support Philadelphia-based non-profit Mighty Writers, which teaches reading and writing to thousands of low-income and marginalized students every year and is seeing more need than ever during the pandemic. The series will continue through September with a new video every Wednesday.

Gilfillian follows Phil Augusta Jackson, Jewel, Marcus Roberts, and Amanda Shires with Jason Isbell. Catch up on the full series here: https://lithub.com/story-type/mighty-song-writers/

Nashville-based Singer-songwriter and bandleader Devon Gilfillian grew up in Philadelphia on a steady diet of R&B, hip-hop, rock, blues, and soul music - music to move our bodies. Following his electrifying 2016 debut EP, with upbeat singles "High" and "Troublemaker," Gilfillian signed to Capitol Records and has since performed with Anderson East, Keith Urban, Gladys Knight, Brothers Osborne, Kaleo, The Fray, Mavis Staples, and more. His current single, "The Good Life," has made the Top 10 at AAA Radio, and he's currently working on his second album.

Mighty Writers was founded in 2009 with the mission to teach kids to think clearly and write with clarity. The organization offers free programs for students from elementary through high school at nine centers in diverse neighborhoods around Philadelphia and New Jersey, including several bilingual locations for Spanish-speaking students. Mighty Writers offers daily afterschool academies, long- and short-term writing classes nights and weekends, teen scholar programs, mentorships, College Prep courses and college essay writing classes. Over 400 of the city's best creative minds (writers, teachers, journalists, etc.) teach 150 writing classes a year to 3,500 kids at Mighty Writers annually.
