CURRENT MISSION

To speak in tones that stir the soul, with words that may pierce the heart.

ABOUT ME

So, My name is Devon Carsen but I perform under the name Red Violet. About a year ago (2010) I gave up a super plush job and lifestyle, gave away all my things, and hit the road. It has been the single most rewarding experience I have ever had. I love people and I get the amazing chance to meet so so many while I'm out here. I am first and foremost a musician but besides that I am a lover of the outdoors and love to explore this world. If you're reading this hopefully I can expect to meet you sometime in the near future and I'm pretty stoked on that. haha. Much Love!

PHILOSOPHY

Well shit. The best way to describe this is that I believe in the absolute power of intentionality. Hopefully you can catch my drift but I would love to talk about it with you sometime!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe in leaving beautiful footprints wherever I go. This takes on different incarnations every time. Sometimes painting a house, or building a backyard bungalow, or doing the dishes. It's all relative to what the place needs.
