藝人資料
Boyce Avenue是一個由Alejandro Manzano、Daniel Manzano、Fabian Manzano三兄弟于佛羅里達州薩拉索塔建立的流行樂隊，正式組建于2004年。樂隊名取自于他們幾個小時候所住之處兩條街的名字。2010年1月，Boyce Avenue曾簽約Universal Republic唱片公司，并于2011年8月與其解約，回到了自己創(chuàng)立的3 Peace Records旗下。BA在與許多油管藝人合作翻唱經(jīng)典老歌和當紅新歌的同時也在發(fā)布原創(chuàng)歌曲。于此之外，Boyce Avenue經(jīng)常在美國，加拿大，歐盟國家，澳大利亞和東南亞巡演。
樂隊早期經(jīng)歷
Boyce Avenue，一支來自佛羅里達的流行樂隊，以其強有力的和弦以及有節(jié)奏的搖滾樂著稱，樂隊正式成員為Alejadro Manzano、Fabian Manzano、Daniel Manzano三兄弟。樂隊成形于2000年，當時的Alejandro（主唱，吉他手，鋼琴手）和Fabian（吉他手）分別只有14和16歲，在之后的三個月內，Alejandro、Fabian和他們20歲的哥哥Daniel（貝斯手，打擊樂）在PIne Wiew高中進行小規(guī)模的演出，當時觀眾人數(shù)達到350多人。這開啟了他們在學生生涯中眾多演出的序幕。
在接下來的幾年中，樂隊成員奔赴美國各地求學，F(xiàn)abian在佛羅里達大學攻讀建筑學學位，Daniel遠赴馬薩諸塞州攻讀哈佛大學法學學位。盡管成員分布各地，但這期間，Boyce Avenue總是能利用各種機會聚在一起進行音樂創(chuàng)作。所以，直到2004年10月，樂隊才在真正意義上的得以組建。因為這時，Daniel已經(jīng)從法學院畢業(yè)，在佛羅里達重新集結了樂隊成員，并正式擔任樂隊的全職貝斯手，同時，此時只有18歲的Alejandro開始創(chuàng)作樂隊的第一首歌曲《Find Me》。在接下來的幾個月里，樂隊開始了在他們家鄉(xiāng)Sarasota的演出。2005年4月，樂隊最后一次造訪Pine View高中。在爭奪Mr. Pine View的競賽中，樂隊的演出得到了當?shù)孛襟w的關注。
Alejandro從高中畢業(yè)后，他就讀于佛羅里達大學。在Gainesville，樂隊為了提高自己的知名度而在街邊進行演出，這得到了鼓手Stephen Hatker很大的幫助。2006年10月，樂隊在NIckel and Dime Studios錄制了三首單曲。接下來的兩年間，在幾個歌曲創(chuàng)作大賽中，Boyce Avenue收到了一些音樂家，音樂人和音樂公司的贊譽：在2007年IMWS比賽中，樂隊闖進了東南賽區(qū)半決賽；憑借單曲《All The While》闖入2007年國際歌曲創(chuàng)作大賽的半決賽；在2007屆John Lennon 歌曲創(chuàng)作大賽中，入選前12強；憑借歌曲《Find Me》進入了全美歌曲創(chuàng)作大賽流行組的總決賽；在IAMA和2008年國際歌曲創(chuàng)作大賽中，憑借《Hear Me Now》闖入總決賽。
為了完成第一張專輯，忙于創(chuàng)作歌曲、錄制新單曲的Boyce Avenue從公眾的視野中消失了一段時間。2007年七月，樂隊回到亞特蘭大，在Electron Gardens Studio錄制三首單曲，并且入住歷史悠久的Biltmore Hotel。同年十月，在朋友Stephen Hatker的幫助下，樂隊在佛羅里達州奧蘭多市完成了專輯照片的攝影，并在RMP Studios錄制了兩首歌曲。專輯的最后三首歌也是在RMP Studios進行錄制的，這期間，Stephen Hatker正式加入樂隊，并擔任樂隊的全職鼓手，接下來，樂隊遷移到佛羅里達州的薩拉索塔。
專輯《All You‘re Meant To Be》在2008年3月25日作為樂隊第一張原創(chuàng)專輯正式發(fā)行。
樂隊發(fā)展階段
2007年，他們決定開始以錄制歌曲并上傳到油管的方式，把他們的聲音分享給全世界。第一期的翻唱曲目包括不插電版本的若干歌曲，其中包括Justin Timberlake的LoveStoned、Rihanna的Umbrella、Coldplay的Viva La Vida等。雖然因為早期設備簡陋，視頻音頻都顯得模糊，但這些視頻仍然在網(wǎng)上很快的得到了不錯的反響。放眼至今，Boyce Avenue在油管已經(jīng)擁有超過2,084,698,032（二十億）的播放量和7,388,178（七百萬）位訂閱用戶（截至2015年8月），翻唱專輯已發(fā)行了十余張，樂隊業(yè)已發(fā)展成為設備、體系完善的獨立樂隊。
然而，Boyce Avenue并不滿足于此，樂隊想更直接的讓人們感受到他們音樂的魅力。于是，2009年，Boyce Avenue預訂了一場在紐約舉辦的演唱會。雖然有人認為這有可能點冒險，但是Boyce Avenue相信自己擁有大量粉絲群體的支持。正是這場異常成功的演唱會，開啟了樂隊的世界巡演之路。同年，樂隊在費城舉辦了一場25000人規(guī)模的演唱會并獲得成功，借著此次成功，樂隊又在美國、加拿大和歐洲的大場館進行巡演，他們的足跡遍布舊金山的菲爾莫音樂廳、紐約的韋伯斯特大廳、芝加哥的里維埃拉劇院、多倫多桑德學院、都柏林奧林匹亞劇院等各個演出場館。
2010年1月，Boyce Avenue與唱片公司Universal Republic簽約，同年6月發(fā)行了專輯《All We Have Left》，專輯中所有曲目的制作以及融資在簽約Universal Republic之前都已完成。
2011年8月，Boyce Avenue脫離了唱片公司Universal Republic，回到了屬于自己的3 Peace Record旗下，做到了樂隊的徹底獨立。同時，3 Peace Records還簽約了歌手Hannah Trigwell。
2012年，Boyce Avenue成為選秀節(jié)目《X音素》的聲樂導師。
2013年8月，樂隊發(fā)行了首張現(xiàn)場專輯，名為《Live In Los Angeles》。
2014年4月，樂隊的EP《No Limits》正式發(fā)行，比起先前專輯，這張EP加入了更多歡快的流行元素。
2016年發(fā)行錄音室專輯《Road Less Traveled》。
