#24 Joey Burbs

*Episode 24 of The RPD Show was recorded on 2/24/21 RIP Kobe & Gianna Bryant Joey Burbs is a 6’5” combo guard based in Chicago, IL. He has a natural scoring ability with a consistent deep and midrange jump shot, but his lateral foot speed and general lack of desire to compete on the defensive end of the floor make him a liability. Despite those shortcomings, Joey has persevered to become one of the largest musical acts to come out of his middle school class. Even though no one was really asking for it, the singer, songwriter, and producer released his debut project “Not in That Order” in May 2019. To literally everyone’s surprise, the album accumulated millions of streams, led by the lead single 'Smile Too' and the Sammy Adams-assisted 'Bright One.' Joey thought the album was going to make it on the Billboard Heatseekers chart after receiving an email from a person there named Alex asking to verify the release, but then it didn’t. Outside of music, Joey enjoys conspiracy theories, has twin little brothers, was one of the first people to contract the Swine Flu in the midwest, and uses the word ‘cattywampus’ consistently in day-to-day conversations, despite not being 100% certain what it means. On a serious note, Joey just quit his job as a corporate strategy consultant to pursue music as a full-time venture. He is extremely grateful you have taken the time to read, care and listen to any of his work to this point, and he is beyond excited to show you all the new music he has been working on.
