Hello there, welcome to HONK! Can you tell our readers about what really inspired you to write music?
BBY JOE – What really inspired me was, Everyone in my town was into rapping and stuff and what inspired me to really start was my first couple of times at a real studio I fell in love with it all! The environment, and the community as a whole. This is what made me start building my brand in the studio and then the wrest is history.
When did you realize you were going to make music professionally?
BBY JOE – I realized I would be doing this professionally when I did my first ever concert. It was a little competition I came in second and the top 5 got studio time so I went and recorded in the studio with a legit setup. After that, I kept laying down tracks and never looked back!
Tell us what is so unique about you and your music?
BBY JOE – What’s unique about my music is I have so many different flows, and I feel like you can vibe with my music and get hype to it as well. I am very picky on what beats I use so I always try to use a beat I can hear myself making a catchy flow on.
Can you tell us about your latest releases and what inspired you to create them?
BBY JOE – My latest release is called “What I Need” and it’s on all streaming platforms. What inspired me to create it was me really just sitting there and thinking about what most people would relate to.
Can you give us a brief insight into your upcoming projects?
BBY JOE – I got a new single coming soon within these next 2 months. Working on what songs I should drop next etc. I got a lot of new songs coming just have to stay in tune with me and enjoy the ride!
What do you wish you were told when you first started making music that you think would help artists just starting out?
BBY JOE – What I wish I was told was too not to be afraid to take chances. What I mean but this is to not be scared to be myself while on camera. People want authenticity and once they see that it’s gold!
What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) that you are passionate about?
BBY JOE – I use the rest of my time doing real estate. I want to be able to make money while I sleep at night lol. This is how I invest my money into the music I release. When I blow up off of music I’ll still be doing real estate because it’s something I’ve always wanted to do.
Any last piece of advice for those artists who just started making music?
BBY JOE – The advice I would give to an up-and-coming artist it’s to just keep grinding. Don’t worry about what people gotta say. The only person you have to prove is yourself just make everyday count.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
