VERSKOTZI is the LA based, award winning artist, songwriter, and producer Joey Verskotzi. “SHIRING” is his 3rd full length LP and is a total return to his roots in rock & roll and folk music. Recorded with nothing but live instruments in Nashville, the album showcases VERSKOTZI in his rawest form yet. VERSKOTZI wrote, produced, and mixed the entire album himself, with the exception of a few co-writes. “SHIRING” is the mantra VERSKOTZI uses when he meditates and as a single word represents the rebirth of The Self. Meditation is something Joey adopted when he made the decision to get sober in 2020, a decision that changed his life and inspired this album. Known for his diverse Folk/Rock sound, VERSKOTZI has received praise from The Fader, Ear Milk, The Source, Notion, WeFoundNewMusic, AllThings Go, Celeb Mix, Kings of A&R, and has mentions in Rolling Stone and The Guardian. “VERSKOTZI’s musical journey has captivated audiences with his diverse sound and thought-provoking lyrics. His recent signing with Jay Cohen’s Preach Records has cemented his status as a rising star in the industry, with boundless potential on the horizon. As VERSKOTZI’s star continues to rise, his unwavering dedication to creating music that leaves an indelible mark on his audience remains his driving force.” -Ear Milk “VERSKOTZI’s ability to distill the collective consciousness of humanity into a captivating piece of music showcases his talent and commitment to the art form.” -Notion Magazine
