How Hip-Hop Star JoeCat Became a Topline Writer by Discovering His Niche
After hitting international success with “Where the Party at Pt. 2,” having his first MTV placement, and having his music featured in the NBA, hip-hop star JoeCat is exploring a unique approach in the music industry. One of his unconventional releases includes a mixtape he released entitled “Epistemic Virtues,” a series of philosophical mixtapes based on a branch of philosophy. All the while, he has been encouraging and inspiring others to find their niche.
JoeCat is a Texas-born songwriter, DJ, and professional hacker who has thrived in the music arena since he was a child. Influenced by different generations of music, his style has transformed from influences of ’90s boy bands to ’70s funk and the origins of early hip-hop. Today, his music embodies a fresh take on hip-hop and rap music featuring impactful lyrics and catchy beats that give off chill-vibes. As a musician, he aspires to be one of the greatest songwriters of our generation.
In 2016, one of his tracks, “Where the Party at Pt. 2,” reached international recognition as it dominated the Russian party scene. His other hits include “More Than Rich,” a track released in 2018, followed by “Black Cat” at the end of 2019. In 2020, his most recent release is the hit “Imagine.” His songs have been streamed thousands of times on different music platforms. He is also known for the basketball warmup theme song he made entitled “Swish.” On Spotify, JoeCat is a verified artist with almost 5,000 listeners monthly.
The passionate songwriter is highly-regarded for the remarkable hooks and choruses he puts in his musical works. He aspires to be the “Akon” or “T-Pain” of his generation. And with that goal in mind, he takes the unconventional approach of actually taking the time to carefully study those who have written the biggest songs for other artists. He sees himself as “a rapper’s rapper” by virtue of his strong skills as a lyricist. As a songwriter, he has the ability to leave lasting impressions through the verses and lines for each song that he writes.
His hard work and pure talent in music have boosted his career as a resident DJ and a published songwriter establishing connections to MTV, NBA, Hip Hop Weekly Magazine, Music Connection Magazine, NY Weekly, Music Industry Weekly, Respect Magazine, Yahoo, and Tony Hawk’s Ride channel.
Aside from his success in music and songwriting, JoeCat is also invested in his other niches. He is a keynote speaker as well as a marketing consultant and security engineer who helps maintain a top ranking account on HackerOne.
Today, he is preparing for the music video of his hit “More Than Rich,” which has been exploding on streaming sites. Indeed, the musician has come a long way in the music industry. He credits much of his success to the power of thriving in one’s niche. Three years ago, he was only making $10,000 a year, but finding his niche increased that amount tenfold.
In the future, he hopes to fully dedicate his time to creating more opportunities for like-minded individuals. He also hopes to give back to the people who helped him reach the place he finds himself in today.
