When the onset of the pandemic brought about the dissolution of the band he’d fronted since eighth grade, Joe P found himself in isolation with time to step out and experiment on his own. From the refuge of his New Jersey basement studio, he threw himself into writing, recording and producing his most personal material to date. Posting homegrown ideas to TikTok, Joe P watched as his raw acoustic videos drew millions of views and over 300K followers in just a few months. Among those new fans was Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, who kicked Joe’s career into hyperdrive by duetting alongside his self-made “Fighting In The Car” video.
Joe embarked on his debut headline tour in Spring 2023, selling out venues throughout the East coast and Midwest. With the release of his single 'Don't Wanna Love U', He headlined West Coast and southwest dates in Fall 2023, ultimately covering the entire US. The single went top 10 at Triple A radio.
