DE’WAYNE Ushers in a New Era with “Highway Robbery”

Houston-born and Los Angeles-based rock star DE’WAYNE is ushering in a new era of music with the electric single “highway robbery.” Accompanied by a striking music video that brings the song’s rebellious spirit to life, DE’WAYNE is setting the stage for a bold new chapter.

This song is a high-energy anthem that captures DE’WAYNE in his purest form, blending shimmery guitars, soulful funk-infused vocals, and irresistible, two-step-ready drums.

Produced in collaboration with Dylan Bauld (flor) the track channels influence from Ohio Players to Nina Simone to Bruce Springsteen while remaining unapologetically modern and true to himself.

“The title was inspired by a heartfelt connection with my partner. She didn’t literally steal my heart—but I left the door wide open for it. I wrote this song as a poem first, and it evolved into this rock’n’roll soul influence. It feels good to be locked in!” shares DE’WAYNE.

Following the release of his 2024 EP I WANT YOU MORE THAN ANYBODY WANTS YOU, DE’WAYNE has solidified himself as a force to be reckoned with. Constantly pushing boundaries, he is redefining Black rock music one song at a time.

With “highway robbery,” he establishes himself as a fearless trailblazer in rock, fusing genres with raw authenticity. DE’WAYNE is on a mission to show the world that neither people nor music should be confined to one box.

About DE’WAYNE:

Shedding any and all creative inhibitions, DE’WAYNE plays rock ‘n’ roll spiked with funk, R&B, alternative, and magic. Accessing the duality of humanity, he harnesses the divine feminine through musicality manifested loud with no shortage of soul, sex, sweat, and style.

Emerging in 2017, the Houston-born and Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer has amassed tens of millions of streams across STAINS [2021], My Favorite Blue Jeans [2022], and I WANT YOU MORE THAN ANYBODY WANTS YOU EP [2024].

In the wake of the latter, UPSET placed him on its cover and urged, “it’s time to sit up and pay attention” to DE’WAYNE. KERRANG! went as far as to christen him “one of the most electrifying new performers in the alt. world today.” He has established himself as the rare force of nature equally comfortable on a track with either Chase Atlantic and Masego, IDKHOW, Waterparks, grandson, WILLOW, Good Charlotte, and Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine.

Beyond headlining packed shows on multiple continents, DE’WAYNE & his band have ignited festival stages at Gov Ball, Lollapalooza, Reading & Leeds, Bonnaroo and BottleRock.

His music may have brought him close to the divine feminine in the past, but he finally learned how to open his eyes and gently embrace it—which is exactly what he does on his new music. Inspired by Lenny Kravitz, Parliament Funkadelic, Marvin Gaye, Ohio Players, Bill Withers, Nina Simone, Prince, Brandon Flowers, and Bruce Springsteen, he levels up as a proud black man, a son, a friend, a leader, an artist, and lover.
