Multi-talented artist Joony, hailing from Maryland, and his local collective 211, have embarked on an exciting collaboration with Red Bull Records and Blxst’s Evgle imprint. This creative partnership aims to propel Joony and 211 onto the global stage, ushering in an unprecedented chapter in the 22-year-old musician’s career. To kick things off, Joony has just announced his upcoming EP, “MEMENTO,” along with the release of the first single, “Need It,” accompanied by a music video directed by Zaiem. The video exudes a ’90s-meets-Y2K space-age aesthetic, shot entirely in black and white.
