JOBA started putting out music around 2017, with Jacob "Joba" Mannon, Drew "Joba" Taggart, and Spencer Sutherland as the core members. Their early work was self-produced, and they built a following with singles that leaned into soulful, introspective hip-hop.
A song called "Sad Saturdays" came out in 2018 and got them wider attention. It's one of their most recognizable tracks, along with "Peach," which features Dominic Fike and Kevin Abstract. The group's sound tends to blend R&B and alternative elements with those hip-hop foundations.
In 2019, there was some noise about similarities between their song "Beautiful" and another artist's work, which they addressed publicly. They kept releasing music through 2020 with tracks like "Better Off Alone."
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
