Boyce Avenue began not in the glamorous city of Los Angeles but in Sarasota Florida. Brothers Alejandro Fabian and Daniel Manzano formed the band in 2004. Daniel had just graduated from Harvard Law School. He joined his brothers who were studying at the University of Florida. They didn’t finish college. Music called.
Their initial rise was meteoric. YouTube became their launchpad. Acoustic covers of popular songs garnered millions of views. Rihanna’s Umbrella. Justin Timberlake’s LoveStoned. Coldplay’s Viva la Vida. Their interpretations were fresh. Their harmonies were captivating. Fans were hooked.
By 2009 Boyce Avenue played a sold-out show in New York City. They toured the Philippines attracting 25000 fans over just four shows. They expanded to the US Canada and Europe. Their fanbase grew exponentially.
In 2010 they released their debut album All We Have Left. The lead single Every Breath had a music video filmed in Los Angeles. The video’s director was Zach Merch known for his work with Blue October and Safetysuit. The album showcased the brothers’ songwriting talent. Their success was independent. They launched their own label 3 Peace Records in 2011 after leaving Universal Republic Records.
Boyce Avenue’s live performances are legendary. They’ve played iconic venues. The Fillmore in San Francisco. Webster Hall in New York. The Riviera Theatre in Chicago. They played in London Dublin and Cologne. Their energy is infectious. Their connection with their audience is palpable.
