Joe P, a New Jersey native, found himself thrust into a solo career after his high school band dissolved during the pandemic. Armed with nothing but a basement studio and a TikTok account, he turned his isolation into millions of views, a devoted fanbase, and even the attention of Zane Lowe. A record deal followed, along with his debut EP ‘Emily Can’t Sing’—a title as cheeky as his rise to fame. Now, with French Blonde out and a sold-out tour underway, Joe P is proving that sometimes, the best way to make noise is to start in the basement.
