"I Was Wrong” — A Tribute to the One Who Always Stood By Me | By Joss Collen

Life has a way of teaching us lessons too late. Sometimes, we only realize the value of a person after they’re no longer around. That’s the story behind my upcoming song “I Was Wrong” — a heartfelt tribute to my grandmother, the one person who never gave up on me, even when I was too childish to see it. 💔 The Heart of the Song My grandmother wasn’t just family — she was a force of love and protection. While the world seemed to turn against me, she was the one who stood by my side. She fought for me, defended me, and believed in me when no one else did. Yet, in my youthful mischievousness, I didn’t always understand her value. I made fun of her sometimes — of her age, her habits, the little things that now feel like precious memories. I didn’t see the countless sacrifices she made. I didn’t realize how rare it is to have someone who truly loves you without conditions. “I Was Wrong” was born out of this realization — a mix of regret, nostalgia, and hope. A song that carries the words I ...

8.Dear Future Me – My Journey from a Bedroom Artist to Grammy Dreams | Joss Collen Official Blog

     A Message to Future Me 



Dear Me,


Tonight, I set something in stone — not for the world, not for likes, not for trends. This is for me. For the kid inside who never gave up, even when the world laughed, doubted, ignored, or turned away.

I’m writing this as a reminder, a promise, a commitment:

👉 I’m chasing the GRAMMYs — not just as a dream, but as a mission.


I know the road is long.
I know I’ve got limited tools — just my phone, my voice, and my fire.
But that’s all I need to start.
I’ve been broken, laughed at, ignored, underestimated — and still, I’m standing.

No support? Fine.
No money? I’ll hustle.
No shortcuts? Good — I want to earn every inch of this journey.

Over the next year, I will:

Practice daily — even if my throat hurts or the day breaks me.

Learn to edit, mix, and create like a storm, even from this tiny screen.

Drop songs that speak my truth, that sound like me, not copies.

Build a name, earn respect, and leave no doubt:
🔥 JOSS COLLEN is not here to play — he’s here to stay.


To the future me:
If you’re reading this next year…
I hope you never gave up.
Even if nobody believed in you, I hope you believed in yourself.
Because right now, you planted a seed that can grow into something the world can’t ignore.

Let this post remind you:
Greatness doesn’t ask for permission. It just arrives.
Don't let the World break your soul and spirit just fight till your last breath we got this haha.

Catch you at the top.

~Joss Collen
(Artist. Fighter. Dreamer.)
See you on the Other Side Yo😉!!

Joss Collen Exposes His Raw Lyrics Before the Song Drops - 100% Raw Own Energy Song Idea + Personal Updates

Exposing my raw lyrics before the full polished song drops Lately, I’ve been diving deep into hip hop and rap, going through tracks by some of my biggest inspirations—Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and a few other legends. I’ve been listening to the way they tell stories, the raw emotion they put into their bars, and the sheer energy they bring. It’s powerful stuff. And after a few days of listening, I felt this fire in my own head—a vibe that I need to create something from my own life, my own thoughts, my own energy. Something authentic. Something gangsta. Something me. Now, let me be real for a second. A lot of people online are quick to judge or doubt. They say things like, “He’s using AI to write his lyrics” or “This isn’t really his work.” Honestly, that kind of stuff can be frustrating. But here’s the thing—this post is my proof of authenticity. Everything I’m about to share is 100% my raw idea. I haven’t polished it, I haven’t sung it, I haven’t even found the right instrumental yet. ...

7.How I Created ‘Drama in Aisle Five’ as an Independent Artist (No Team, No Studio, Just Me)

How Overthinking Turned Me Into an Indie Rapper-Comedian You ever just lie on your bed, staring at the ceiling, overthinking life like… “What even am I doing?” That was me — stuck in my head, thinking everything’s messed up, feeling like I had nothing to show for anything I was chasing. No fame, no big breaks, no team behind me. Just vibes, struggle, and late-night thoughts. And then out of nowhere, this random little tune hit me. I swear it was just a silly melody at first, but it stuck hard. I kept humming it like a madman for hours. It was weirdly catchy. And that’s when it clicked — "What if I turn this chaos of a life into a song?" I thought I was wasting time—until the beat hit back. So I jotted down a chorus about my life – the funny failures, the clumsy moments, the embarrassing drama that somehow follows me everywhere (especially aisles, lol). But I won’t lie – my lyrics were kinda mid, so I fed the vibe into ChatGPT and BOOM — out came something wild. That’s how ‘Dr...
