Celebrating Life of Devin Lezama
Remembering the founder of EDM Maniac.
Statement released by EDM Maniac below:
It is with unbearably heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of EDM Maniac's beloved founder and CEO, Devin Lezama, at the age of 37.
Devin was more than the creator of EDM Maniac, he was a visionary who helped define the landscape for modern electronic dance music media. A dreamer and a doer, Devin built EDM Maniac from the ground up into a global platform encompassing travel, events, merchandise, and even a print magazine for ravers: all rooted in his mission to uplift our community with integrity, creativity, and respect.
Born in New York in April 1988 and proud of his Trinidadian heritage, Devin embodied everything about the culture he helped promote. A graduate of the New York School of Visual Arts and a former member of Insomniac’s Ground Control, he blended a deep understanding of storytelling with a lifelong commitment to safety, inclusion, and joy on the dancefloor.
Devin passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. The exact cause of death remains undisclosed. We will provide updates on proceedings on our official media channels: EDMManiac.com and @
As part of Devin’s legacy, EDM Maniac and its affiliated brands will continue — by the team he collaborated with and inspired on a daily basis. We are committed to upholding his legacy and the values he lived by: peace, love, unity, respect, responsibility, curiosity, innovation, and approaching everything you love in life like a true maniac.
Devin’s favorite artist was Avicii, and we can think of no better words to close with than this:
“One day you’ll leave this world behind, so live a life you will remember.”
Devin lived that life: and we will carry him with us for the rest of ours.
