Delaware Firefighter Goes Viral For Brett Young Cover On TikTok
Joven Newman and his wife celebrated their 5 year wedding anniversary a few weeks ago. After they finished their vacation in Nashville, Joven’s wife had requested that the firefighter cover the song “In Case You Didn’t Know” for her. After the cover was finished Newman posted his video to both TikTok and YouTube. By the next morning the video had nearly 20,000 views on TikTok!
Within the first week the Smyrna native had accumulated 1,000,000 views on his Brett Young cover. When his wife asked for Joven to do the cover he said the only way he’d do it is if he could change the lyrics to make them relevant to their relationship. That’s why when you watch the TikTok the first verse of the song has been changed.
Joven says he wasn’t introduced to country music until 2016. He had joined the military and was stationed in Texas, that is where country finally hit his radar. He also sites Jimmie Allen who is a Delaware native as well for influencing him to play country music.
Newman will be dropping an original single in April 2021. As of right now it is unknown if Brett Young has heard the cover for himself.
