RAHEEM DEVAUGHN

Raheem DeVaughn, a Grammy Award–winning R&B singer, songwriter, and activist, brings his soulful artistry to the Birchmere on August 28, 2026. Known for his platinum songwriting and as the host of WHUR FM’s *Original Quiet Storm*, DeVaughn has built a career on deeply resonant, authentic music that speaks to a diverse audience, particularly Black women aged 24–54. His dedication extends beyond the stage: he founded the LoveLife Foundation to improve physical, mental, and economic well-being in underserved communities of color, and his advocacy earned him the Biden Administration’s 2023 Presidential Volunteer Award and the Key to the City of Washington, D.C. for HIV/AIDS awareness. This performance at the Birchmere promises an evening of soul-stirring melodies and the hits that have made him a radio mainstay.
