In this engaging interview, DJ Pup Dawg sits down with Grammy-winning songwriter and artist Joelle James as she returns to her "second home," Boston. The conversation dives deep into Joelle’s impressive career, from her early YouTube discovery by Chris Brown in her Berklee dorm to writing culture-shifting hits for major artists. Joelle shares the heartfelt philosophy behind her music, her dedication to spotlighting local Boston talent, and the inspiration behind her upcoming EP, I-Scream Scoop Two, which features the lead single "Love Over Everything." From hilarious stories about singing the National Anthem at the NBA Finals to a fun game of trying to pronounce tricky Massachusetts town names like "Haverhill" and "Leicester," this episode is packed with gems about resilience, manifestation, and her mission to give back to the city that "made" her.
