Bryce Vine Talks Success of ‘Drew Barrymore,’ Starting on ‘The Glee Project’ & Forthcoming Album
“I had no idea how big the potential was for it … I just knew it was a good song,” says Bryce Vine (Bryce Ross-Johnson) about his chart-climbing single “Drew Barrymore,” which has racked up 22 million-plus streams on Spotify and 80 million streams for the singer overall. The catchy track was released in November, but its steady incline in streaming and on Billboard’s rhythm and pop radio charts has earned new opportunities for the 30-year-old.

His next big debut will be an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Monday (Aug. 6), for his first-ever televised performance. Full article here.
