Bryce Vine

Bryce Christopher Ross-Johnson, known professionally as Bryce Vine, was born on June 16, 1988, in New York City. His mother, Tracey Ross, moved them to Los Angeles when he was one, where she pursued an acting career. Growing up in Westlake Village, California, Vine developed an early interest in music, influenced by ’90s R&B introduced by his father. He taught himself to play the guitar at 13, laying the foundation for his future musical pursuits. Vine’s initial step into the music industry was in 2011 when he auditioned for “The Glee Project.” Although he was the first contestant eliminated, he later expressed that the experience was not aligned with his artistic direction.

Following his departure from Berklee College of Music, where he adopted his stage name “Vine,” Bryce connected with producer Nolan Lambroza. This collaboration led to his signing with Kiva House Lambroza. His debut EP, “Lazy Fair,” was released on April 22, 2014, and gained traction with online hits “Sour Patch Kids” and “Guilty Pleasure.” A subsequent EP, “Night Circus,” followed on March 21, 2016. The year 2017 marked a significant turning point with the release of the single “Drew Barrymore,” which peaked at 46 on the US Billboard Hot 100. This success was followed by the release of his debut album, “Carnival,” on July 26, 2019. The album featured “Drew Barrymore” and another charting single, “La La Land” (featuring YG), which reached 75 on the Billboard Hot 100, solidifying his presence in popular music.
