Devon Roberts, CEO & Producer
Devon Roberts began his passion for event production at the age of eight years old. Young Devon could be found building his first touring production by utilizing his extensive Lego collection. His designs only showcased what would be his life’s pursuit into the world of production design and management.
When other teenagers were trying out for the team, Devon focused on launching his first company Progressive Studios. From 2005-2008, while attending Belmont University, he played an integral role in advanced student teams, working on shows such as the Grammys and ACM Awards, before exploring the more complex landscape of corporate production. Working with artists such as Beck, LAUV, Josh Turner, Sara Evans, and many more, he expanded into a multitude of production roles during his tour years. This would also prepare him for roles in the Oprah Tours of 2015 and 2020. Moving further into corporate production, he also became the national account manager, overseeing all events of the Bio-Oncology division of Genetech. In the midst of these adventures, the dream of River Media was born.
Launching that dream in 2021 while simultaneously overcoming the virtual event landscape, Devon and the River Media team now produce shows across the globe, varying in all shapes and sizes, including premiere corporate and music conferences. His passion for excellence drives River Media to the highest of quality in client-specific solutions. By listening, designing, and delivering top-of-the-line event production, his life’s pursuit has now transformed Devon Roberts into a highly sought-after producer and director.
Devon calls Middle Tennessee home where he lives with his wife, Sarah and their two children.
