Bryce Christopher Ross-Johnson[2] (born June 16, 1988),[3][4] known professionally asBryce Vine, is an American rapper and singer. He ventured into a career of music in 2011 when he auditioned forThe Glee Project. A year later, he signed with record label Kiva House Lambroza and released anEP titledLazy Fair. Two years later,Night Circus, another EP, was released. His debut album,Carnival, was released on July 26, 2019, featuring the tracks "Drew Barrymore" and "La La Land", his first two songs to chart on the USBillboard Hot 100.
Bryce Ross-Johnson was born on June 16, 1988, inNew York City,New York, toTracey Ross and Brad Johnson. When Ross-Johnson was one, his mother moved them both toLos Angeles,California, so she could pursue a career as an actress. Eleven years later, she got a part on the hit soap operaPassions, which allowed Ross-Johnson to spend the majority of his youth inWestlake Village. When his father introduced him to '90sR&B, he convinced his mother to buy him a guitar at the age of 13. He taught himself how to play the guitar.[3][5]
A friend of Ross-Johnson's mother suggested that he send an audition tape to theOxygen series,The Glee Project, a reality series that served as an audition for theFox show,Glee. He became one of the twelve finalists, but was the first contestant to be eliminated from the show. He later stated that he was thankful, saying it "was not the right place for me."[3]
AfterThe Glee Project, Ross-Johnson leftBerklee College of Music. It was at Berklee that he adopted his stage name, choosing Vine because it was short for vinyl.[citation needed] After meeting his now producer,Nolan Lambroza, Ross-Johnson signed to Lambroza's label Kiva House Lambroza. On April 22, 2014, Ross-Johnson released his debutEP,Lazy Fair (a play on the French phrase "laissez-faire," this also being the name of a boat owned by his parents) which spawned two minor online hits, "Sour Patch Kids" and "Guilty Pleasure."
Another EP,Night Circus, was released on March 21, 2016, and in 2017, Ross-Johnson released the single, "Drew Barrymore." The song peaked at 46 on the USBillboard Hot 100.[6] He released his debut album,Carnival, on July 26, 2019.[7] "La La Land," the second single from the album, peaked at 75 on theBillboard Hot 100.[8]
Ross-Johnson is heavily influenced byThird Eye Blind, saying that they write the type of music he aspires to write - "intelligent and honest lyrics with an infectious chorus."[3] Another heavy influence is rapperJ. Cole. He says that he '"likes the storyteller aspect of him, as well as having a loud and clear message for listeners. Yet, he never takes himself too seriously."[9]
