As a result of the epidemic, Joe P’s band, which he had led since eighth grade, had to disband, leaving him alone and free to explore and experiment on his own. He plunged himself into composing, recording, and producing his most personal work to date from the safety of his New Jersey basement studio. Joe P, who shared original concepts on TikTok, saw his unprocessed acoustic videos garner millions of views and more than 300K followers in a few of months. Zane Lowe, who helped joe’s career take off by duetting with his self-made “Fighting In The Vehicle” video, was one of those new followers.
After signing a contract with Neon Gold/Atlantic, Joe P swiftly released his critically acclaimed debut EP, Emily Can’t Sing, which featured the singles “Leaves,” “Fighting in the Automobile,” and “Off My Mind,” the latter of which is currently making waves at Triple A radio stations around the country. In August, Joe P dropped the cinematic music video for his viral fan favorite “All Day I Dream About.” The song had over 13k pre-saves and had the highest first week of streaming of Joe’s career. On Friday, October 7th, Joe P made his second EP, French Blonde, available.
