On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by DE'WAYNE.

With last year’s june, DE’WAYNE entered a glitzy new era, penning songs that recalled Lenny Kravitz, Sly and the Family Stone, and Brandon Flowers. Centered by love, sex, and soul, the album marked another evolution in his deepening catalog, elevating his showmanship while weaving in enough vulnerability to be “a light for people.”

Returning to the Artist Friendly studio after kicking off the first episode, DE’WAYNE sat down with Madden for a raw, unfiltered catch-up on identity, growth, and arriving as your full self.

They also discussed what it means to be co-signed by Kravitz, hitting arenas with mgk, and why the garage is still the best place to be.
