Former WNXP Nashville Artist of the Month Bren Joy has a flawless ability to deliver silky smooth vocals and grooves that makes it nearly impossible to believe he is just beginning his budding career. Joy’s independent debut Twenties made enough of an impression that it earned a deluxe reissue with label backing earlier this year. But this is only the start for the multilayered artist.

Watch Bren Joy perform stripped down versions of his songs “Insecure” and “HEADLINE” and debut his new track “Friends” live from the Sonic Cathedral at WNXP Nashville.
