BIO

Some artists perform songs.  JoethePoet creates moments.
Whether commanding the stage in New York, captivating audiences across Europe, or connecting with fans overseas who know the words to “All I Know,” JoethePoet has built a reputation for delivering performances that extend beyond music they become shared experiences rooted in authenticity, resilience and the culture that raised him.

Originally from the Bronx, New York, and now based in the Los Angeles area, JoethePoet has independently built an international career spanning North America, Europe and the Middle East. His performances have taken him to Dubai, Paris, London, Wrexham, Glasgow, Rotterdam, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, with additional international appearances continuing to expand throughout 2026.

A Recording Academy Voting Member, JoethePoet has performed at respected festivals and showcase conferences including Focus Wales, New Skool Rules, Ready or Not Festival (Paris), Pitch Music Festival, Sunny G Radio Festival, Cranium Music Festival, with upcoming appearances at Chreece Music Festival, PDX Hip Hop Week and PIN Music Conference.

His career has also placed him alongside some of hip-hop’s most respected voices, sharing stages with Rakim, Jay Electronica, Curren$y, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Slick Rick, DJ Quik, Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher, Joyner Lucas, GZA, Xzibit, Dave East, Lefty Gunplay, Malice, AZ, and many others. Yet his greatest accomplishment isn’t measured by the names he’s performed alongside it’s the audiences he’s able to move.

Blending lyrical craftsmanship with honest storytelling and commanding stage presence, JoethePoet has earned a reputation for turning audiences into participants rather than spectators. Whether performing in an intimate venue or on an international festival stage, his mission remains the same: to create music that inspires resilience, celebrates hip-hop culture and leaves every audience with an unforgettable experience.

As his international footprint continues to grow, JoethePoet remains committed to building a legacy rooted in authenticity, lyrical excellence and meaningful human connection proving that independent artistry can resonate on a global stage.

For JoethePoet, hip-hop isn’t simply what he does.

It’s who he is.
