From falling in love with his now-wife Juliet Simms (aka Lilith Czar, whom he met… Read more »

DE’WAYNE joins idobi Warped Radio for a raw, radiant, and deeply personal conversation that tracks his evolution from a wide-eyed 19-year-old taking a leap of faith to one of rock’s most exciting voices today. He opens up about leaving his hometown in Texas for Los Angeles with little more than a dream and a cheap laptop—an image captured in his oldest Instagram photo. From working in a restaurant to catching the attention of Lenny Kravitz, who called to tell him, “You’re up next in rock music,” this is the journey that’s reshaped the alt scene one song at a time.
We dive into his new album june—a bold step forward inspired by Talking Heads, Prince, and the electric chaos of life and love. DE’WAYNE unpacks the voice he’s finally found, the influence of his long-term partner WILLOW on the standout single “highway robbery.” He even teases a few surprises about the album that fans don’t know yet… but will soon.
We also talk Warped Tour. Though it’s his first time on the bill, DE’WAYNE reflects on the impact of the festival and what it means to step on that stage as a Black artist—redefining representation in a space that once lacked it.
