Bryant Barnes - I'd Rather Pretend | Vevo DSCVR Artists To Watch 2025

Bryant Barnes delivers scorching emotions with icy ease. His debut project, ‘VANITY,’ is like an Arctic glacier: beautifully complex, ever-changing, and a little bit dangerous. Those who have explored its curves and edges are left with a profound connection to murky and plaintive tracks such as “Don’t Want A Love Song,” “Adore You,” and standout piano ballad “I’d Rather Pretend.” As with natural phenomena, Barnes’ burgeoning popularity is the result of smaller but equally important moments in time; one doesn’t earn millions of views on TikTok and YouTube in a vacuum. Born in Texas, young Bryant spent his childhood moving between states. The only constant was music, starting with classical piano lessons at the age of six. High school orchestra and a stint with the cello further honed his omnivorous skills. Inherently, he began to mix in personal taste. XXXTENTACION, Mac Miller, and Joji songs suited the somber and smooth glide of his own voice. These covers exploded on social media. Like most of Gen-Z, Barnes moonlights as a master self-marketer. His airport piano rendition of Hans Zimmer’s modish ‘Interstellar’ theme has likely scrolled onto your phone screen. “You have to take yourself seriously as an artist for other people to follow your vision,” he divulged at the Artists To Watch 2025 shoot. Wise advice. We’re pretty serious about our own vision: seeing the name Bryant Barnes up in lights for a long time.
