interview with joey job
Where are you from?
I'm from Atlanta Ga. by way of Decatur Ga.
How long have you been making music?
Well I actually recorded my first lyrics around when I was 10 years old, just fooling around with a cassette player; And actually recorded my first studio song in 1992.
How many songs /albums have you released to date?
Before I was known as Joey Job I recorded under several other names such as "M.C.N.V" and "Joey Pheen" in which I recorded approximately 20 songs, 1 Ep and 1 album with groups such as The HQH Posse and Ovadu; however as the Artist "Joey Job" and my Scripturaly Inspired Music, I have recorded 1 Ep, 1 Album, and about 4 singles.
Can you tell us about your latest release and the background and inspirations behind it?
My latest release "All Things Through Christ" is a testimony of the fact that the Anointing of the Most High (YAHUAH) is real. I was inspired to write this song after reflecting on All the things that I've overcome; and we're not talking about my entire life, I'm just referring to the things that I've overcome since giving my life to the Most High.
How have you ended up in the music industry?
Trying not to force anything in any way, but remaining patient and humble, having faith that my gift will eventually make room for me in some capacity.
What do you think of the music industry in 2018?
To be absolutely honest; I don't really think about it or pay much attention to it at all. I'm not really into the politics of music, because it could be a distraction; and It's not in my character anymore to go looking for distractions that will get me off my square.
Who do you think the most influential artist?
At this time I would say Kendrick Lamar, because that's the name that I hear the most right now.
Who have you collaborated with so far in your career?
No one at this time, but I challenge you to ask me that same question this time next year.
How do you think you differ from other artists?
With me I differ because I look to reach, teach, bring revelation , and confirmation. I look at my music as truly a Music Ministry.
Dead or alive, who would be your dream collaboration?
Michael Jackson without a doubt. Hands down.
What was the first album you bought?
The first album that I actually purchased was Eazy does it by Eazy-E.
What’s your favourite song at the moment?
My favorite song at any moment is, and always will be, "Be Blessed" by Paul Morton, because that is the song that changed my life forever.
If you had to sell your music collection tomorrow, what album would you leave in your drawer?
John P. Kee. "Not Guilty".
What is your favourite saying?
Blood don't make family; Love is what makes family!
What other hobbies or interests do you have?
I'm pretty simple and grounded. I like collecting old coins and working in the yard. Nothing really over the top.
Do you have any tattoos or piercings?
No I refuse to adorn this body that the Most High gave me with any of those things. The Most High gave me birthmarks and that's about as far as it goes with me; And the Messiah was pierced for me, so I'm good with that.
Tell us more about your upcoming project or this new project?
I'm currently working on a new project which will be self titled "Joey Job" and the first single called LAH, LAH, LAH, LAH, LAH!
What’s in the pipeline after this project?
I don't know what's in the pipeline. I try to err on the side of caution when it come to getting ahead of the Most High. I've learned my lesson with that.
Thank you for your time and may you carry on making great, fresh music.
Thanks a million for your time and patience as well and may the Most High continue to prosper you in all of HIS way. Shalom.
