He also acquired a publishing deal in 2008 with PPC, a publishing company owned by music manager of artists such as Greenday and the Goo Goo Dolls. Following his time in the music business he went on to become Music Director at School of Rock in Los Angeles. Delli Santi studied classical and jazz piano for over 15 years, beginning at age 7 with award winning Composer and Songwriter, Richard Sorce, who holds a Ph.D. in music theory and composition from New York University. Delli Santi’s music education was also informed by Sorce’s undergraduate studies at the Manhattan and New York College of Music, as well as his piano study at Shenandoah Conservatory. Following his studies with Sorce, Delli Santi was awarded a Jazz Performance Scholarship to Five Towns College, which he attended until getting a record deal with Universal Music Group/PRC as a solo artist under the moniker SUPERCREEP. While a signed artist he wrote, recorded, produced, and played all the instruments on his albums, secured licensing deals for placement of his songs in network television shows and movies and commercials such as Twilight, Las Vegas, The Hills and Bones. His US tour included headlining at The Wiltern Theatre (Los Angeles), House Of Blues Main Stage (San Diego), Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Denver) and Warp Tour Festival West Coast. He has featured downloads and interviews and has been on the cover of publications such as, Rolling Stone, Blender, LA Weekly and The Village Voice.  After parting ways with Universal Music Group/PRC he went on to release a full length LP, single, EP, and became Music Director of School of Rock in Los Angeles and was a talk show host and DJ from 2009 – 2011 for Brokenwave Radio. 
Working with children had such an impact on him that he gave up his career in the music business to teach full time. As Music Director he taught individual lessons on piano, vocals, guitar, bass, drums, ran artist based themed shows with up to 30 students at time from ages 7 – 17. The shows would take place all around Los Angeles at venues such as The Troubadour, The Whiskey A Go Go, The Roxy, and many more. Several students have gone on to secure record deals with labels such as Elektra Records, Hollywood Records, and Warner Bros. He also developed Song writing/producing/recording workshops for School of Rock. While under his direction School of Rock Los Angles brought in various artists from legendary rock bands like The Doors, Marilyn Manson, Frank Zappa, Rage Against The Machine, Yes, Kiss, Jane’s Addiction and Guns N Roses to collaborate and inspire his students. Jody specializes in bringing together kids from diverse socio economic backgrounds and abilities, to create a classroom style that builds self confidence and self worth while growing the musical skill sets essential to reaching their full potential. He has worked extensively with special needs, emotionally disturbed and learning disabled children and teens. He believes that the best way to build a person up is to figure out what they really love and instill in them the confidence and ability to make it happen. He is exceptionally gifted when it comes to communicating and building trust with children. His goal is to impact society one child at a time by breaking down barriers and teaching kids that through hard work and collaboration they can become the best version of themselves!

Michael Devin
Bass, Vocals, Guitar, Keys
In 2001, Devin met drummer/musician Brian Tichy after hearing Tichy's band, Ball. The two realized they shared the same passion for 70s rock music. Devin joined Ball in 2002. Tichy and Devin co-wrote and recorded an album together entitled, Bleed Defeat in Spring of 2003.

Michael joined The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band in 2004 and embarked on a U.S. tour in support of Shepherd's album, The Place You're In.  On June 19th, 2005, The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, along with many other notable musicians, gathered together to celebrate Les Paul's 90th birthday at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Other musicians included, Joe Satriani, Edgar Winter, Steve Miller, Stanley Jordan, Steve Lukather, Peter Frampton, Derek Trucks, Neil Schon, and Jose Feliciano.

In 2009, Devin joined George Lynch's band, Lynch Mob, with Oni Logan on vocals and Brian Tichy on drums. The band toured throughout the states in 2009–2010. In September of 2010 Devin departed to join Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience. "... while most musicians give up on rock-star dreams, Devin never did".

On September 25th, 2010, "Jason Bonham's Led Zepplin Experience lineup also includes ... bassist Michael Devin" [6] Devin was the house bassist for, The Groove Remains the Same, a tribute concert held in honor of deceased Led Zeppelin drummer, John Bonham. Devin played with 25 different drummers including, Abe Laboriel Jr., Chad Smith, Jason Bonham, Stephen Perkins, Chris Slade, Kenny Aronoff, Danny Carey, and many others.

Also in 2010, David Coverdale invited Michael to pay visit to his studio in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, where Whitesnake was working on a new album. After auditioning on the spot in the studio, Coverdale invited Devin to join the band and play on the album. Devin played harmonica, bass, and sang backing vocals on Forevermore.

In 2011, Forevermore was released and the band made a video for the single, Love Will Set You Free. "I never thought of it as fun," he said. "I always sort of considered it to be serious business, something of real importance. I never questioned it. I never really thought it wouldn't happen."

The band was on hiatus in 2012, so Devin, Tichy, and Doug Aldrich toured throughout Europe as Steamroller, with Devin taking lead vocal duties and playing bass.

Whitesnake released Made in Japan in April of 2013. Devin wrote a blog on the Forevermore tour, which ended up as the liner notes of both Made in Japan and Made in Britain/The World Record.

Also in 2013, Devin got together with Brian Tichy, Tommy Stewart of Godsmack , and Juno Award vocalist, Sass Jordan and began writing and recording what would become the debut album of S.U.N.(Something Unto Nothing).

In 2014, Whitesnake began working on an album entitled, The Purple Album, a collection of songs taken from Coverdale's tenure with the band, Deep Purple. Devin played bass, harmonica, and sang backing vocals on the album.

Whitesnake toured for most of 2015 in support of the Purple Album.

In 2015 Devin released a video for the song entitled, Evil Men Do, as part of Drea De Matteo's reality web series, The Muthaship

In 2016, Whitesnake embarked on another world tour, after which Devin joined with the 60s band, The Guess Who, subbing for longstanding bassist, Jim Kale, who decided to take time off from touring.
Recording and touring drummer Yael started playing drums in New York City as a teenager while delivering pizzas in High School. By her senior year, Yael joined Meanstreak and 4 days into the band, played to a sold out 2,000 capacity L'amour Brooklyn crowd with Anthrax. It was there that Ya'el started to develop live performance crowd connections along with heavier double kick chops as the band toured with Motörhead, Iron Maiden, King Diamond, Overkill etc. Yael accumulated major companies endorsing her and broke the typical "girl drummer" mold. Expectations and Boundaries broken at a very early age. During Lollapalooza '93, she performed with members of Arrested Development, Alice in Chains, and Fishbone, which took Yael into a funkier direction musically. Messing around with the "recording tools" and microphones, Yael decided to get her degree in Audio Engineering after interning at Avatar in High School.Recording and touring drummer Yael started playing drums in New York City as a teenager while delivering pizzas in High School.

Messing around with the "recording tools" and microphones, Yael decided to get her degree in Audio Engineering after interning at Avatar in High School.With the introduction to the musicianship she experienced at Lalapalooza, she had the pleasure of working with Fishbone and mentor "Fish". Yael began fusing rock and world music and experimenting with hip hop artists. During this phase of her musical journey, Yael played with the band 1stborn7 where "Pocket" & "Groove" became super important and "utilizing 1 kick drum instead of 2 for a while was a new trip". "These guys taught me Flavor."

1stborn7 recorded at the famous Powerstation/Avatar Studio in NYC, and the song “One Love” was released on the Italian film "Amorrato". Yael toured Morocco Spain Abiza and USA and on that record, Pino Paladino was the first session player experience she got to work alongside Steve Boyer who produced one of her faves, Peter Gabriel, and soundtrack for Silence of the Lambs. She tracked drums in the Freight elevator the way Sledgehammer was recorded between floors!

Between NYC & LA, The melange of genres had begun. Buddha Bar vibes, 70's Rock sprinkled with Latin and Middle Eastern touches, Digital influences, Poets and Underground DJ's. Improvising at the New Yeurican Poets Cafe, Nells and The Gaslight, along with "after hours" sessions nightly with kindered spirit life-long friend, songwriting partner, producer, Nik Chinboukas at the Jamaica Music Building, the two recorded everything & anything. No Restrictions. The hours were ridiculous so you had to love it.

Things continue to move in cycles for Yael's drumming career and the love for making music and capturing it all on film started to cross over bringing her back to both sides of the glass. Recording and Engineering. Filming and Producing. 4 years of Final Cut took Yael "off the road" for a minute.


She was devoted diligently to making her Documentary DVD with DW and her first personal CD showcasing her own stories and undeniable musicians that she has developed friendships with since childhood. Staying close with Nik over the years and continuing musical projects, the two became three with a West Coast music partner in crime, Yury Anisonyan. A kick ass Songwriter, Producer/Engineer. THE LOVE PROJECT JOURNEY (DW DVD/EP world release-June 2010) songs were Written, Filmed and Recorded and completed 2005-2010. The Law of Attraction manifested some legendary "top notchers" such as Terry Bozzio, Alex Skolnick, Sasha Lazard, Dave Eggar and Lucia Micarelli (HBO's Treme) to the project. The LOVE PROJECT JOURNEY has been officially selected into 5 film festivals worldwide and the documentary Yael Directed (with Alain Vasquez), Produced and Created premiered at The Grammy Museum to a SoLD Out crowd with a live finale to prove it all possible. You do not have to be in one band or one studio to make a record and to create music with people you admire. Make it Count.

Staying close with Nik over the years and continuing musical projects and hiring each other the two became three with a West Coast music partner in crime, Yury Anisonyan. Yury became a close friend who also happens to be a kick ass songwriter, Producer/Engineer. He automatically clicked.
