BEAT THE FISH PRESENTS JOEY VALENCE ＆ BRAE HYPERYOUTH In the 4 years since joining forces, fast-rising, genre-defying alt/hip-hop phenoms Joey Valence ＆ Brae have cemented themselves as a must-see live act and bonafide recording artists with viral one-off singles and full-length projects like their recently released third studio album HYPERYOUTH (RCA Records). With the volume turned up to max capacity and while remaining undeniably themselves throughout, JVB is as eclectic and hard-hitting as ever on HYPERYOUTH and recently wrapped the first leg of their sold-out HYPERYOUTH WORLD TOUR in celebration of the new record which brought their insane live show (which BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders calls “the best live show I’ve been to in years”) to cities throughout North America and the UK as well as to major festivals including Gov Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza (Chicago, Paris and Berlin), Osheaga, Shaky Knees, Austin City Limits Music Festival and more.

In between those drops, they’ve collaborated with an eclectic mix of friends and fans including IDK, Pendulum, 6ix, ACRAZE and Apashe, and conquered the sync market over the past year, appearing in viral commercials including Pep
