Neutral White/Gray Painting

Bernie Journey was born Bernard Journey in Cleveland, Ohio and raised within earshot of great rock 'n' roll. Primarily a painter while in school, Journey was introduced to some of his favorite artists and earliest influences through local radio. He soon began supplementing his painting with piano lessons and found making music more challenging and less isolating. Bernie shares a distinction with Lady Gaga of working on his first recordings and EP with music producer Joe Vulpis. The songs from these sessions were compiled along with additional tracks produced by Dave "The Rave" Rickard, to form Bernie Journey's eponymous debut album. Bernie teamed up with jazz pianist and world music producer Dave Ahl for his sophomore album release The World in the Eye of the Beholder, revisiting his dance-pop style, but with a new sense of growth and maturity as an artist. The album's recurring message of viewing life from a positive inspirational perspective resonated well with listeners. The album spawned two singles: "Everything" and "A Better Life." Mr. Journey considers painting his first love and enjoys spending his days outside of the recording studio creating modern abstract art. He continues to release a steady string of dance music singles including, "Patience with My Heart" (2016) and "Control Of Me" (2018). He looks forward to working on and releasing new music and fine art in 2020. The Journey continues…
