Making a Scene Brings you an interview with Joey Verskotzi

VERSKOTZI is the award winning, LA based artist, producer/multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Joey Verskotzi. Known for his diverse sound, VERSKOTZI has received praise from The Fader, Ear Milk, The Source, Notion, We Found New Music, All Things Go, Celeb Mix, Kings of A&R, and has mentions in publications such as Rolling Stone and The Guardian.

He began his career in 2010 touring as an artist and releasing his music while living in Minneapolis, MN. After every song on his debut EP achieved placements on multiple TV shows and commercials, VERSKOTZI began taking on work as a producer/composer when not on the road, scoring original music for Film & TV. This chapter of his career would land him placements with Chevy, ABC, NBC’s ‘This Is Us’, Target, Volvo, MTV, Corona, Dr. Scholl’s, and more. In 2017 he made the move to LA to continue shaping himself as an artist as well as a songwriter/producer. In 2019, VERSKOTZI signed his first co-pub deal with Angry Mob Music in the same month that he released his debut LP No. 90. In 2022, he signed a distribution deal with Preach Records (Universal) for his 2022 EP MANIFEST 22222. In 2023, VERSKOTZI signed a full-length record deal with Preach Records for his upcoming sophomore LP.

Since signing with Angry Mob in 2019, VERSKOTZI has released one full length album, five Eps, as well as four stand-alone singles that have racked up nearly 2 Million streams on Spotify alone, and has landed placements for his material on Netflix, Hulu, The CW, ESPN, Amazon Prime, Peacock / NBC, and more. In 2022, he was also the recipient of two GAFFA Awards in Denmark for his work as a writer/producer on the album Capacity by electro/pop artist Lydmor in the categories Best Electronic Album and Best Sounding Electronic Album for mixing/engineering.

This spurred a European writing tour that sent VERSKOTZI abroad to Copenhagen, Sweden, Berlin, and Hamburg for a monthlong writing expedition with a deep talent pool of writers/artists/producers. Back in North America, he participated in the SXSW 2023 Songs Official Songwriting Camp in Austin, TX among a handpicked group of 20 international writer/producer/artists, leading to his invitation to Vancouver, BC for the DayTripper Songs 2023 writing camp at the legendary Warehouse Studios owned by Bryan Adams. He continued his run, going to Toronto, Nashville, and New York City to collaborate with a wide array of artists, resulting in albums, EPs, single cuts, synch placements, and more.
