Juna N Joey

  • Artist Name: Juna N Joey
  • Hometown: W Palm Beach, FL, and Nashville

What project(s) are you currently working on?

Juna: We are in the process of rolling out our first self-titled EP, and we’re always writing as well as going to school.

Joey: We are also making another body of work – we’re not sure if it will be all singles or another EP. We’re finishing up photoshoots and videos to support our first EP, as well. We are also always busy working on our anti-bullying campaign, and I go to college too.

What inspired you to pursue a career in music, and when did you know? 

Juna: I saw the show “Little Rascals’ when I was four years old, and I heard the little girl sing “L.O.V.E.,” made famous by Frank Sinatra. I sang it for my parents, and they decided to sign me up for singing lessons.

Joey: Juna influenced me. She took lessons first and then I wanted to join her!

If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living? 

Juna: I would definitely be a chef or own a restaurant. I love to cook, and I am also Italian!

Joey: I love working out and health-related businesses, so I think I would maybe be into nutrition or a holistic doctor.

What is your favorite downtime activity? 

Juna: I like to cook, go fishing, or watch Netflix.

Joey: Family game night is fun – we like Pictionary and Monopoly.

Who is your favorite sports team(s)? 

Juna: I like the Jaguars, the Titans, and the Predators.

Joey: I like the Dolphins for football, the Predators for Hockey, and the Marlins for baseball.

What is the last movie that you watched?

Juna: I last watched “Gossip Girl,” “Stranger Things,” and “Two Hearts” – it was very sad!

Joey: I last watched the documentary on Bobby Brown and “The Conjuring 3”!

What is the last album you listened to? 

Juna: The last album I listened to was Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous!

Joey: I also recently listened to Morgan Wallen.

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be? 

Juna: I would say Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

Joey: I’d say anything by Stevie Wonder!

What is the greatest country song of all time? 

Juna: I’d say “Angel From Montgomery” by John Prine or Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode To Billy Joe.”

Joey: I think some of the greatest songs include “Somebody’s Problem” by Morgan Wallen or anything by Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson.

What has been your favorite city/town that you’ve visited out on the road?

Juna: I’d have to go with New York!

Joey: I would also say New York.

What is your favorite meal? 

Juna: I love Pizza and also acai bowls.

Joey: My favorite is salmon and rice.

Who is your dream duet partner? 

Juna: Definitely Dan + Shay!

Joey: Dan + Shay for sure!

Who would you like to go on tour with?

Juna: I would love to tour with Dan + Shay

Joey: I’d say, Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen.

What is your ultimate career goal(s)? 

Juna: We want to keep performing and playing the biggest shows we can!

Joey: Yes, we want to keep performing as much as we can!

Class of 2021 Announced for Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame

Here’s some info from the release that accompanied the announcement:

The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame (NaSHOF) has announced its Class of 2021: Amy Grant, Toby Keith, Rhett Akins, Buddy Cannon and John Scott Sherrill. The five will be inducted into the Hall this November, according to an announcement made today by Sarah Cates, chair of the organization’s board of directors, and Mark Ford, its executive director.

The five new inductees-elect will join the 213 previously inducted members of the elite organization when they are officially inducted during the “50/51” Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala on Monday, November 1, at the Music City Center. Because the organization’s 50th Anniversary celebration was postponed last year, this year’s event will honor two classes in a special double-sized event that will also spotlight NaSHOF’s previously named Class of 2020: Steve Earle, Bobbie Gentry, Kent Blazy, Brett James and Spooner Oldham.

“Today is one of my favorite days of the year, as we begin our journey to the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala in November with the announcement of our upcoming class,” says Cates. “Nashville has always been the home of legendary songs written by the world’s finest songwriters – and this class is no exception. It’s our great honor today to welcome our class of 2021:  Rhett Akins and Buddy Cannon in the songwriter category; John Scott Sherrill in the veteran songwriter category; Toby Keith as our songwriter/artist and Amy Grant as our veteran songwriter/artist.”

Rhett Akins’ songwriter credits include his own “That Ain’t My Truck,” as well as “Honey Bee” (Blake Shelton) and “It Goes Like This” (Thomas Rhett). Buddy Cannon’s resume is known for “Set ‘Em Up Joe” (Vern Gosdin), “I’ve Come To Expect It From You” (George Strait) and “Give It Away” (George Strait). John Scott Sherrill’s hits include “Wild And Blue” (John Anderson), “The Church On Cumberland Road” (Shenandoah) and “How Long Gone” (Brooks & Dunn). Amy Grant popularized many of her own compositions, including “Baby Baby,” “That’s What Love Is For” and “Tennessee Christmas.” Toby Keith recorded many of his self-penned hits, including “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” “How Do You Like Me Now?!” and “As Good As I Once Was.”
