His penetrating voice brings the feel of brittles and outcry that goes directly to the hearts of those who listens to him. It will be hard not to stop and pay attention whenever his voice surrounds the airwaves. His voice alone tells a story. A compassion and an understanding of something in a much deeper dimension.
This singer comprehends the art of music in a different angle that manages to appeal to the senses of anyone who would hear his melody. Maybe we could point a finger to that instance when he decided to leave his band and retreat in the vastness of the woods and pine trees. The silence and the chance to reflect must’ve been responsible for him to reach a certain Eureka moment that allowed him to become a deeper artist that he is today.
Originally born as Justin Vernon, Bon Iver was first part of an indie folk band named DeYarmond Edison. The group started during his high school years, but eventually decided to fall apart after moving to North Carolina in 2005 to venture and give the career a little bit of a push.
Things seemed to continue crashing down as the disbandment was followed by his breakup with his then girlfriend. Feeling lost, Iver decided to go back home and settled in a snowy cabin for three months. Being alone paved the way on the materialization of an album with nine songs. “I was running away. Things were unravelling there. I was working a job I hated, and a band that I’d been with for ten years had just broken up. I needed to get out.” Iver admitted.
His stay gave birth to an album named ‘For Emma, Forever Ago.” Emma happens to be his ex’s middle name. The singer argued, though that the album is not about break up at all. He claimed that the album is the expression of the things he had encountered in the past from the having his music rejected down to losing a certain kind of love that’s being given by years of coming together and formed relationships.
Years later, Bon Iver continued by releasing another album and collaborating with other artists like Sean Carey, Kanye West and Elvis Perkins. He even bagged two Grammys; Best Alternative Album and Best New Artist.
