"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 ...

9.AI vs Me: The Truth Behind My Music

The Truth Behind My Music Journey...... I started my journey this year, back in April. AI was already out there long before I even thought about making music. But I didn’t just wake up one day and tell an AI: “make me a song.” That’s not me. Yes , I use AI — but here’s the truth: The concepts, the storytelling, and the whole vibe are mine. They come from my reality, my struggles, my broken dreams. AI doesn’t live my life. AI doesn’t feel my pain. That part is all me. I edit my own songs, I write my own lyrics, I even build my own beats. Sometimes I’ll use AI tools to refine things — like fixing grammar, or testing sounds. But at the end of the day, the creativity, the story, and the marketing all come from me, Joss Collen. Think about it: even Iron Man had J.A.R.V.I.S. Sure, the AI helped analyze things, but people still recognize Tony Stark as the genius behind it all. That’s how I see it too. AI is just my assistant . My vision, my grind, and my voice are what make my music real. I d...

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 her...

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...
