JOA's Diary
The next EP
March 14, 2025
A week after "Previous Problems" came out, I'm still feeling it. I'm so lucky to have music at the center of everything I do: writing, recording, producing, playing live. But I know where it all started for me. With writing songs. For me, songwriting is about finding words for feelings, so that someone who feels the same can recognize themselves.

Hi friends,
A week after "Previous Problems" came out, I'm still feeling it. I'm so lucky to have music at the center of everything I do: writing, recording, producing, playing live. But I know where it all started for me. With writing songs. For me, songwriting is about finding words for feelings, so that someone who feels the same can recognize themselves.
Right now I'm putting together my next EP. The songs on "Previous Problems" were written when I was between 16 and 19. The new ones are about this past year. Four of them have been ready for a while, and I think the last one came together this week. Or at least I hope so. The first single will probably come out before summer, which feels like tomorrow.
My songs are living their own lives now, all over the world, and I love hearing from you about them. Keep listening, and I'll keep writing.
XOXO
JOA
