Singer and songwriter Gary Barve continues to build a diverse creative path rooted in emotion, performance, and storytelling. As a recording artist, Barve has released a series of heartfelt cover songs that showcase his vocal range and deep connection to classic and contemporary music.
His catalog includes interpretations of “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran, “Hero” by Enrique Iglesias, “Fix You” by Coldplay, and timeless favorites like “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and “Unchained Melody” made famous by Elvis Presley. His covers have received international radio play across the United States, England, Spain, Colombia, Sweden, and beyond, with notable recognition for “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” which he has heard was played on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show.
Barve’s most recent release, a cover of Justin Bieber’s “Lonely,” stands out as his most emotionally powerful performance to date. He describes the recording as deeply personal, driven by vulnerability, heart, and raw honesty. The track features piano accompaniment by his friend Tiko Lasola from Finland, whose playing adds a delicate and expressive layer to the song.
“Lonely” resonated with Barve the first time he heard Bieber perform it live. The song’s themes of isolation and emotional weight struck a universal chord. In his view, loneliness is something everyone experiences at some point, whether briefly or for longer stretches of life. That shared human experience is what drew him to the song and shaped his interpretation of it.
Beyond music, Barve is also a published author, an entrepreneur with a forthcoming fragrance line, and a creative exploring film and stand-up comedy. Whether through music, writing, or performance, his work centers on emotional truth and personal expression, with “Lonely” serving as a clear reflection of that mission.
