Juiceboxxx

Juiceboxxx emerged from a Milwaukee, Wisconsin upbringing yet established his base in Brooklyn, New York, the standing-room-only East Coast music hub. An eclectic artist, producer, and performer whose work draws from rap, pop, punk, garage, and classic rock, he earned the description “the Buddy Holly of Hip Hop” from Public Enemy’s Chuck D. JB launched his career onstage at age 15, shaping the high-energy live show that typically features both a drummer and a guitarist. After issuing several mixtapes, he unveiled his first full-length, I Don’t Wanna Go Into the Darkness, via Infinity Cat in 2013; partial financing arrived through Thunder Zone, his own music and culture label that also houses an energy drink bearing the same name. Three singles—“Guts and Tension,” “Freaking Out,” and “Going to the Club”—appeared in early 2017 ahead of the highly anticipated sophomore album Freaked Out American Loser, released on Dangerbird. The next year brought the EP Never Surrender Forever, which found him veering toward a stronger indie-punk sound. Returning to the studio in 2019, he tracked his fourth album, It’s Easy to Feel like a Nobody When You’re Living in the City, with Joel Hamilton (Unsane, Highly Suspect) at the helm; the early 2020 release was introduced by the singles “Kids Are Looking” and “Running So Deep.”
