Joey Burns
What inspired you to pursue a career in music?
"I’ve always made music since I was growing up. I grew up playing the clarinet and I loved to sing. Starting in high school I started messing around with rapping originally as a joke because another kid at my school was making music, so I dropped a Diss track on him under the name DrBurns, not the best choice of name but aye. Eventually after my first break up I started using music as an outlet for my sadness and since then I’ve been writing music, and I haven't stopped.
How would you describe your music style or genre?
" It's really hard to describe my style because I make so many diff types of music. However, I'd probably say I make rage hyper pop/punk music. "
Are there any specific themes or messages you aim to convey through your music?
I try to convey the state of my emotions and the state of my overall mental health thru my music. I want people to know they arent alone and I want people to know its ok to scream and break shit and go crazy, thats the human experience. I feel like lots of time we encapsulate ourselves and let others do it too. I want to break that"
5. What has been the most memorable moment in your music career so far?
"So far, my most memorable moment in music was my last show in Arizona. My crew and I drove down there from LA with a broken AC, and I rocked that shit out and instantly had to hit the road again to get my homies back for some party. It was a whole journey and a really epic show that I thought would kill me lol."
Are there any upcoming projects or collaborations that your fans can look forward to?
This month, I will release individual songs, and you can look forward to an album next year.
