NEW ENGLAND

For most of my life, I’ve wondered what this moment would feel like - where I’d be, who I’d be, and why now. This December, I’ll be releasing my debut album.

Looking back, it feels like the quiet end to a trilogy - one that started with Joy Street and Beacon Hill.

I’ve been writing and producing music in my bedroom since the pandemic - chasing something honest, something that felt like me. This is the closest I’ve ever come to capturing my sound - at least, for now.

The album started in Boston and finished in New York, but really, it came from somewhere deeper - from moving overseas, trying to find my footing, chasing a version of myself I didn’t fully know yet. It’s raw, imperfect, and personal. And that’s exactly how I wanted it.

Even the artwork came together by accident. I made the image early on to capture a feeling I couldn’t name yet - and by the time the album was done, I realised it had captured everything. So it stuck.

Over the next few months, I’ll be sharing more behind each song, photos from the process, and a few surprises too. You’ll get it all here, first - starting with the first single:

Julia drops August 7th.

Until then, thanks for being here. I’m proud of this, and I can’t wait to let you in.

More soon, Josef.
