Joey Myron redefines modern country music, blending classic influences with contemporary sounds. With a deep, velvety baritone and a passion for storytelling, he channels the spirit of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Tom Jones while incorporating the stylings of The Weeknd and Post Malone. His music is both nostalgic and fresh, reviving the lost era of crooners with a modern twist.
Born to Russian immigrant parents, Myron's love for music was sparked early. His pianist father taught him classical and blues piano, laying the foundation for his musical versatility. His grandfather, a proud American patriot, introduced him to country music through a collection of dusty vinyl records. The old country sound struck a chord with Myron, igniting a passion that shaped his artistic path.
Later, he moved to Los Angeles, working alongside top producers and songwriters. His collaboration with DJ/producer Mickey Valen led to the success of "Chills," which garnered over 90 million streams. But despite the glitz of LA, Myron felt drawn to Nashville, a city rich in country music history.
"I wanted to immerse myself in a thriving music scene rooted in the deep, rich history of country music I had always connected with," he explains.
The significant move inspired a fresh, genre-blending sound that fuses country, rock, and pop.
Myron's artistic growth is exemplified in the reinvention of his hit song "Chills." Originally a sleek, pop-driven track, the new Nashville version cloaks it in a dark, Western charm. The polished pop production gives way to grittier guitar riffs, steady beats, and a haunting cinematic quality. His smooth, whispery vocals exude effortless seduction, drawing listeners into a sultry, moody world.
The reworking was inspired by a drive through Tennessee's Smoky Mountains. "The landscape demanded something different from the song," Myron recalls. "It needed ruggedness to reflect the scenery."
This reimagined version captures the eerie beauty of the mountains, blending country authenticity with a hypnotic allure.
For Myron, music isn't just about crafting hits and telling stories. His writing credits include "Farewell, Neverland" for K-pop group TXT, and his ability to weave narratives into song has earned him recognition beyond country music. A high-profile Western music performance in Winter Park, Colorado, even landed him a feature in Vogue Magazine.
Yet, working in today's music industry isn't without its challenges. In an era where short-form content dominates, Myron remains committed to artistry over fleeting trends. He believes in passion and patience, valuing live performance and authenticity over manufactured success. His genre-blending approach explores new ways to integrate country elements with modern sounds.
As he continues to evolve, Myron envisions a future where Western glam, crooner aesthetics, and heartfelt storytelling merge. He wants to stand out from the sea of copycat songs and bring back an era of music about emotion, depth, and connection.
"My goal is to show my love for writing and performing music from the scope of storytelling," he says. "I want to bring a fresh sound to country, pop, and rock while reviving the age of crooners and proper live entertainment."
With his rich baritone and genre-defying artistry, Joey Myron is not just making music—he's crafting an experience. His ability to balance tradition with originality ensures that his sound remains timeless and distinctive, a rare quality in today's industry.
