Bryce Vine’s real name is Bryce Ross-Johnson and he is currently 31 years old. He is originally from New York City but has since relocated to California to further his music career. He describes his early life as “humble beginnings”. Then Vine started to get into music at a young age and in order to pursue his talent he attended the Berklee College of Music which is a prestigious music school.

After attending the school Bryce Vine released his first EP which did fairly well. However, it was not until he released Drew Barrymore in 2017 he found true success. It was partially written alongside Julia Micheals who is also a growing pop artist. According to Song Facts, Bryce chose to write the song about Drew Barrymore because on tv and in movies she is always the sweet and cute girl. He wanted to focus more on personality than solely on looks. It was off of his first full album called Carnival . Personally I love the album for just chilling out and I think Pitchfork magazine described it the best by saying “The debut full-length from the “Drew Barrymore” singer isn’t designed for conscious, focused listening. This is music for poolsides and basements.” It reminds me of summer and driving around, blasting music with my windows down. In essence it is feel good music and everyone could use some feel good music sometimes.

More recently, Bryce Vine came out with the hit single La La Land in early 2019. It became most popular in the summer though because of its chill vibe and beat. It features the rapper YG as well which adds another effect to the. song itself.The song is about California culture and in a way it mocks the influencer lifestyle which includes Coachella and instagram photos. A common theme within his music is mocking the social media industry and the people within it.

As of now he is touring around the globe with his new music and promoting his album as well. Theres no new information on when more of his new music will be released but trust me, as soon as it is I will be sure to listen.
