Joey Vantes is a West Coast-based Christian singer, rapper, songwriter, and founder and CEO of his record label Signature Sound. He first came on the Christian Hip-Hop scene with his successful 2016 debut album, Beautiful Solitude. The album’s namesake single, “Beautiful Solitude”, is one of Vantes' most popular songs to date, accruing just over 985,000 Spotify plays.

Despite being completely independent, Joey has been very successful, signing deals with names like Nike, Christian Dior, Starbucks, and HBO, just to name a few. His sales have also shown amazing growth, with his third album ‘The Vantes Project 2’, reaching No. 3 on the iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap charts on it’s first day of release. His next album, ‘The Vantes Project 3’ did better numbers, and gained enough momentum for Joey to sign a licensing deal with Starbucks, where his song Cloud could only be played at Starbucks locations, therefore it was removed from streaming services.

Only three months after the release of TVP3, he released another EP entitled The Fall, which took a much darker turn. Joey opened up about his depression, drug abuse, and family issues. In an interview with Rapzilla, Joey talks about his early career and life while addicted and depressed. He talks about his own drug and alcohol abuse, suicide attempts, and how his music saved someone else, and in turn, saved himself.

After releasing several non-album singles through late 2018, his sixth album Legends Never Die was released in May 2019, and unlike TVP3 and The Fall, was completely solo. The album was so well received that the follow-up, Legends Never Die 2, dropped on August 23rd, and had features from bigger names like nobigdyl., Rockstar JT, and Parris Chariz

He has worked with many other CHH artists. He’s collaborated with bigger names such as KB, WHATUPRG, and Parris Chariz. He also frequently works with much smaller artists, with a few notable ones being Kevmo, Kid Tris, WILSXN. and many more, with the remix of “Loose Change” from TVP2 with KB hitting 1 million streams in early October 2019.
