After graduating from high school in 2019, JoeVille drove out to Los Angeles with aspirations to take his career in music to the next level despite not having a plan or a place to live. While living out of his car, JoeVille released his debut project, CLRD Thoughts, a 20-track offering comprised of one-minute freestyles and his soon-to-be breakout single "Sexy.” The feel-good track began making an impact on TikTok, and to date, has been utilized by members on the platform over 737.5K times. The monumental visibility he garnered on TikTok translated organically to other platforms, yielding over 22 million streams across DPS’s and landing him his first major labor deal with Warner Music Group's Asylum Records imprint.
