Who’s singing for Journey now? This question has been on the minds of many fans of the iconic rock band since the departure of Steve Perry, the band’s original lead vocalist. With the passing of Steve Perry in 2016, Journey faced the daunting task of finding a new voice that could fill the shoes of their legendary frontman. This article delves into the journey of Journey’s new lead vocalist and the impact they have had on the band’s legacy.

The search for a new lead vocalist for Journey began in earnest after the release of their 2011 album, “Eclipse.” Despite the success of the album, the band knew that they needed a fresh voice to carry on their legacy. After much consideration and a series of auditions, the band decided to go with Arnel Pineda, a Filipino singer who had gained a cult following for his cover versions of Journey songs.

Arnel Pineda’s journey to becoming Journey’s new lead vocalist is nothing short of remarkable. A former member of the Filipino band The Zoo, Pineda had been performing cover versions of Journey songs for years. His passion for the band and his uncanny resemblance to Steve Perry caught the attention of Journey’s guitarist, Neal Schon, who invited Pineda to join the band for a show in Manila. Impressed by Pineda’s vocal abilities and stage presence, Schon recommended him to the rest of the band, and the rest is history.

Since joining Journey in 2011, Arnel Pineda has become an integral part of the band’s lineup. His powerful voice and dynamic stage presence have helped the band to continue their legacy and reach new audiences. Pineda’s ability to perform both classic Journey hits and new material has kept the band relevant and exciting for fans old and new.

One of the most notable aspects of Pineda’s tenure with Journey has been his ability to connect with the band’s original fans. Many fans were initially skeptical of the change in lead vocalist, but Pineda’s dedication to the music and his genuine love for the band have won over even the most die-hard Steve Perry fans. His rendition of classic Journey songs like “Don’t Stop Believin'” and “Open Arms” has been met with critical acclaim and has helped to rekindle the band’s connection with their audience.

In addition to his work with Journey, Arnel Pineda has also embarked on a solo career. His debut album, “Arnel,” was released in 2014 and featured a mix of original songs and covers. The album received positive reviews and helped to further establish Pineda as a talented and versatile musician.

As Journey continues to tour and record new music, the question of who’s singing for Journey now has been answered with confidence and enthusiasm. Arnel Pineda has proven to be a worthy successor to Steve Perry, and his contributions to the band have helped to ensure that the spirit of Journey lives on. With Pineda at the helm, Journey’s future looks bright, and their music continues to inspire and entertain fans around the world.
