JOA's Diary

Back from London

February 7, 2025

Just like last week, I'm writing to you from the airport. But this time I'm on my way home, after a busy week in London. Lots of sessions and a tiny bit of sightseeing (but mostly sessions). I got to work with some amazing writers and producers, and we made music I'm really excited about. Maybe some of it will come out sooner than you think.

The rest of this letter is for JOA's Diary readers.

No spam. Just JOA.

Hi everyone,

Just like last week, I'm writing to you from the airport. But this time I'm on my way home, after a busy week in London. Lots of sessions and a tiny bit of sightseeing (but mostly sessions). I got to work with some amazing writers and producers, and we made music I'm really excited about. Maybe some of it will come out sooner than you think.

"A Little Kinder" was actually written a few years ago, and my next single is even older. It's a strange feeling to see something I wrote so long ago come out now, brand new to most of you. It's like meeting my younger self again. Sometimes that's a little bit cringy. But with this song it's been really nice, because I still mean every word. We all need to speak a little kinder to ourselves.

So I made bracelets for you. Post a TikTok or an Instagram or Facebook story with my music where you name five nice things about yourself. Tag it #JOA and #alittlekinder, and I'll send bracelets to ten of you, wherever you live.

January is over, and February is already full of sessions with lovely people. And at the end of the month, my fourth single comes out. I'll tell you more about it very soon.

XOXO
JOA
