JOEY BARS BIOGRAPHY Despite the clever wordplay, rapper Joey Bars of Raleigh, NC is skilled in many more ways than his name suggests. Bars applies his ability to craftily merge all genres of hip hop from traditional Boombap to Trap in his songwriting, engineering as well as his production. He describes his sound as both “wavy” and lyrical and sites artists like Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, and Outkast as influences. Active since only 2015, Joey has already managed to have his music featured on Shade 45’s Sway in the Morning, share the stage with Cash Money Records artist, Caskey, as well as platinum-selling hip hop group, Do or Die. He’s been a prominent featured artist on shows curated and hosted by one of Radio One’s top personalities, Mir.I.AM. Joey Bars’ persistence has led him to effortlessly accomplish difficult feats such as developing relationships with many Triangle Area radio stations, notably, K97.5, 88.7 WXDU, 92.1 Choice FM and more. Most recently, he was elected a member of a North Carolina version of the XXL Freshman Class. His latest work, a collaborative project with fellow rapper, Warrin Suprime, titled, “The Basement,” is now available for streaming and purchase on all digital music platforms. Joey also has the ambitious and impressive goal of self-producing one of his own projects in the near future.
