THE BAND
Everything there is to know about the band
Voice Devoted's Primary Members
Voice Devoted is made up of three primary members: Braden Pearcey, Jonah Bayman, and Sarah Vaia. Beneath are bios, role descriptions, and information on each individual member of the band.
BRADEN PEARCEY
Braden Pearcey is the frontman of Voice Devoted. He started Voice Devoted in the spring of 2023 when he began to write music heavily.
He began Voice Devoted as a songwriting flagship where he could pour his thoughts and passion into something that could be felt feasibly. His early songs ranged from expressions of life to blatantly vulnerable confessions of hopelessness. His songs took on a more refined, weighty tone as he continued to write. Between the early summer of 2023 and the end of 2024, Braden had penned approximately 200 songs.
Braden is the lead vocalist/lead guitarist, as well as the band's songwriter. He does most of the music composition and production work.
Drawing from his own life experiences for most of the band's content, Braden's music often lands on soft ground with heavy undertones. His guitar of choice is the Les Paul. His Les Paul, Mood, defines Voice Devoted's guitars with crystally cleans, soaring tones, and heavy sustain. The Shure SM7b is his mic of choice. It's warmth and velvet qualities provide a characteristic sound to his vocals.
Jonah Bayman
Jonah Bayman is the keys/bass player of Voice Devoted. He joined the band in the summer of 2024, shortly before Sarah Vaia.
Before joining the band, Jonah had collaborated loosely with Braden to help out on keys for a song performance at an arts showcase, but the song never ended up happening. A couple months later, Braden recruited Jonah for the band, and the band held a makeshift practice session. The session cemented the band, and Jonah took up keys and bass, as well as production and composition.
Jonah's music knowledge plays a large role in shaping Voice Devoted's individual tracks. Between harmonies and genre-blending, Jonah's mark on Voice Devoted is undeniable.
SARAH VAIA
Sarah Vaia is the female vocalist of Voice Devoted. She joined the band in the summer of 2024 shortly after Jonah Bayman. As a talented vocalist, her soulful voice brings a layer of life and authenticity to Voice Devoted's music.
Braden recruited Sarah Vaia as the lead vocalist for Voice Devoted because of unsurety regarding his own vocal capabilities. Sarah hesitantly stepped into the role and committed to recording with the band after the band's first recording session. Sarah is currently a key second vocalist alongside Braden.
On top of vocals, Sarah has played a large role in shaping the band. Her advice and presence in the band during the rocky (late) summer/fall of 2024 helped the band stay intact, and her steady vision continues to impact the band's content.
