    Devon: When Rock Stars Go Bald
    Baldness. It happens. It happened to my grandfather. It happened to my dad. So if you crunch the actuary tables, I too (gasp) have a strong chance of following their lead one day. I am however comforted by the thought that those before me have succeeded despite their significant hair follicle handicap. NME has just compiled a [...] (read more)

    Devon: National Geographic Channel Documentaries
    I’m a sucker for documentaries. The National Geographic Channel just did a great documentary on Air Force One. They got unprecedented access to both the plane and the presidents who rode aboard it. It’s just interesting. Happy Friday! Devon (read more)

    Devon: Hip Hop Feuds: 50 Cent vs. Rick Ross
    Ever wanted to get back at a mortal enemy? Do you have hundreds of millions of dollars at your disposal? Then do what 50 Cent did to Rick Ross!

More On Devon Soltendieck

SEASONED PROFESSIONAL
After winning the MuchMusic VJ Search in 2004, Devon was named one of TV Guide's "Top 10 Stars on the Verge of a Major Breakout in 2005"...and he did not disappoint. While interviewing for MuchNews and hosting various Much specials, Devon has interviewed a slew of A-Listers including Marilyn Manson, Jack White, Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen, Orlando Bloom, Kirsten Dunst, Beyoncé, and Gwen Stefani.

INFORMED AND ENLIGHTENED
Devon is always ready to voice his informed opinion and dish an intelligent take on the topic at hand – two of many abilities he refines daily at Much. Devon felt right at home co-hosting one of the biggest events of 2007, CTV's coverage of Live Earth New York. He knows what it means to be a true original, preferring to make up rules as he goes, rather than follow the ones laid before him. Meshed with his journalistic instinct and crack musical knowledge is his free spirit: he lives for the moment, vows to have fun and believes in keeping things on a positive note.

FIT AS AN IRONMAN
Before he gives you the latest dish on the media's most recent victim, Devon has already been to the gym and ran three miles! But it's all in a days training for this guy who spent two years in Switzerland on an athletic scholarship. His latest goal – to complete a Half Ironman…or four, this year alone.
