Known for his breakout track "Drama in Aisle Five", Joss is quickly becoming a voice for young people who feel misunderstood, unseen, or simply in need of a real friend online.

Born in India, Joss grew up facing social challenges and discrimination — not because of anything he did, but because of where he came from. Like many kids who feel like outcasts, he learned to bottle up his feelings, escape into anime, music, and imagination. That pain, however, didn’t destroy him — it became his power.



💔 From Pain to Passion

As a teenager, Joss battled the loneliness that comes from being treated like an outsider. Whether it was caste-based discrimination, fake friends, or broken trust, he carried scars that most couldn’t see. But instead of letting that pain define him, he turned to lyrics, melodies, and beats to express what words never could.

Inspired by artists like NF, Eminem, and creators like BB Ki Vines, Joss started crafting songs from scratch — sometimes with nothing but a phone, BandLab, and relentless belief in his vision.
