Steve DeVito was born in the seaside town of Long Branch, New Jersey and began his musical career as the guitarist for the short lived punk-rock band The Secret Syde, which was moderately popular in the Netherlands in the 1980s.
DeVito first gained notoriety as the guitarist for punk rock band The Secret Syde. The band was very active in the early 1980s, and their debut album "Hidden Secrets" was well-received in the Netherlands. The Secret Syde disbanded in the late 1980s, and failed reunion attempts were made in both 2000 and 2002.
In 2004 Steve began touring with his friend Josh Zuckerman, whose music has been featured on the television show Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List. Aside from touring with Zuckerman, Steve will also be featured on Josh's future studio albums. He took part in the filming of Zuckerman's latest music video as well. In 2006 Josh and Steve did an acoustic show in the city of Neptune, New Jersey. In 2006, Steve DeVito performed at the CD release party for Out From Under, which was a sold out show held at the Metropolitan Room in New York City.
