Philly born artist BIVIENS delivered an awe-inspiring performance with his distinct version of rap music and R&B undertones. He presented the audience with a sneak peak of his upcoming album “Guilford Rd” and shared the inspiration for why he makes music.

BIVIENS interacted with the audience in the show by having us sing the lyrics “it's my moment, it's the day that I’ve been waiting for” and guided the crowd to snap in harmony to the musical beat.. On the keyboard was musician Howard who even had his own keyboard break. Some of the songs performed were “Beautiful girl”an ode to women, “Second Chance”and “The Moment.”

BIVIENS is no stranger to Sofar Sounds since he continuously performs and travels throughout the U.S. to Sofar shows. He stated Sofar Sounds “provided me a platform to organically build fans” and to “connect with people.”

Throughout the performance, the authenticity of his connection with the audience was unmistakable, as he seamlessly drew them into the intricate tapestry of his musical journey.
