LA based singer/rapper Bryce Vine has been making moves with the recent release of his debut EP ‘Lazy Fair.’ His smooth delivery, paralleled with a chill pop sensibility leaves us refreshed.
GroundSounds recently caught up with Bryce to talk about his EP, musical inspirations and more, check out our exclusive interview below.
For those just discovering Bryce Vine, can you tell us about your background and how you got started with music?
When I was 13 years old I saw a band play at a local teen center and it just clicked in my head that I wanted to do music. My mom bought me an acoustic guitar for my bday and I started teaching myself to play and write songs.
We at GroundSounds are really diggin’ your debut album ‘Lazy Fair’; can you tell us about bringing it all together?
Thank you. So, the album is pretty much my personality in a nutshell. I’m outgoing, nostalgic, sarcastic, sometimes nice, sometimes a dick, I love my friends and I love to laugh.
What made you decide on the name ‘Lazy Fair’?
It’s a play on the French term “Laissez-faire” which was the name of a little party boat my mom had when I was growing up. My friends and I used to spend every summer drinking on the boat and swimming in the lake in my hometown.
Can you tell us about the creative and writing process for your track “Where The Wild Things Are?”
I was driving around LA when the idea came to me. I’d just had a very frustrating argument with an extended family member and I was fuming. I parked the car on the street outside my apt and wrote the whole 1st verse before I got out. It was the first time I’d written a song based on sincere feelings of angst.
Indie-pop band Youngblood Hawke recently remixed “Where The Wild Things Are,” what were your initial thoughts about their fresh new take on your track?
I’m a punk/alternative kid at heart. Bands like Blink-182 and New Found Glory were my favorites growing up. The Youngblood Hawke remix totally revived and captured the rock undertones in my music. They nailed it!
What is it about radio-friendly pop and laid back hip-hop that attracts you to this sound?
I don’t really listen to song looking for a genre to put it in. If it sounds good to me, then I like it – simple as that. Over the years I’ve just noticed that pop and hip-hop music have no limits to what they can include. I can mold songs however I want.
What is your favorite hang out spot in Los Angeles?
I have a few. My favorite nightlife spot is a 70’s style bar Good Times at Davey Wayne’s. My favorite spot to hang with fam and close friends is Willie Jane restaurant on Abbott Kinney.
What was the inspiration for your track “Guilty Pleasure?”
It’s sort of an anthem for my close friends and I for all the memories we share. Looking back on happy and sad times from growing up clearly fueled the lyrics of this song.
What’s next for Bryce Vine? What are you currently working on? What can fans look forward to in the future?
So, I just got off a national college tour which was a blast. I can’t wait to go back on the road next year. And I’m really excited to open for Wallpaper at The Roxy on November 20th. Other than that I’m recording new music for my next EP/album and I’m going to be releasing some more remixes from the Lazy Fair material throughout the rest of 2014.
