Throughout the wide-reaching career of the once-faceless artist known as Joseph Edward Mulherin, better known as nothing,nowhere, there has been a great deal of transformation and sonic evolution. Past the passageways of lyricism of mental health discussions, deep-jab ruthlessness, reminiscing on the past, childhood, trauma, loss, heartbreak and more, nothing,nowhere proved himself to be one of the most standout artists within the tradition of emo hip hop, transcending it to become his own unique artist with a wide range of influences.

From grunge to emo, post-hardcore to indie, alternative to lo-fi, metalcore to punk, each album pushed nothing,nowhere into new heights of simultaneous experimentation and torch-bearing for the vintage styles that brought him and inspired his musical journey.

Going from a DIY indie rock and emo/post-hardcore inspired rapper on Soundcloud under a variety of names, to sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with bands like Paramore, Fall Out Boy, Twenty One Pilots and A Day to Remember on Fueled by Ramen, this grassroots Massachusetts/Vermont artist showcased that anyone can start from very little and end up becoming a sensation.

From underground emo rapper to moody alternative rock torch-bearer to metalcore powerhouse, follow me hand-in-hand into the void of nothing,nowhere, where I go into each release of this project, the history and background, stylistic influences and evolution of one of the most intriguing and impressive solo artists in all of metal right now.
