Columbus-born artist Doobie has zig-zagged across sounds throughout his career while sticking the landing every time. After cutting his teeth in hip-hop as a keenly reflective penman on cuts like 2017’s “When The Drugs Don’t Work” – a breakout track saturated in descending highs and heartbreak – his first pure foray into rock was 2024’s “Early Bird Gets the Whiskey.” As Doobie puts it, while it’s a watershed moment for his catalog, the genre has always been part of his sound: “Since the very beginning of my career, I've always voiced how much I've been influenced by rock n' roll. One of the main reasons people started listening to my music was the fact I would sample classic rock songs in my beats and rap over them. Rock n' roll and metal was my first love when it came to music.”
In the studio with songwriters and producers Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Sleeping With Sirens) and Conor Matthews (Megan Moroney, Austin Snell) for his debut rock album ‘GIVE 'EM HELL UNTIL YOU GET TO HEAVEN,’ Doobie has been able to capture the magic of his first love with each successive single. From the melodic “Early Bird Gets the Whiskey” and anthemic “Until I Get to Heaven,” to the swaggering, foot-stomping “Worth A Shot” and Jonny Hawkins-assisted “Stone Cold,” Doobie has quickly found a singular sound. “Baylis is a genius when it comes to production as well as Conor when it comes to songwriting and melodies,” he reflects. “Those two together plus me just isn't fair [laughs].” And while it’s a significant jump from self-producing much of his catalog, he affirms “I can just focus on the songwriting” with Baylis and Matthews in the fold.
A major component of what’s made Doobie connect so deeply with listeners is his unflinching honesty as a songwriter. Whether it’s exploring the pitfalls of romance or hurdles that come with addiction, Doobie’s work has never shied away from genuine vulnerability. And while it’s become an inseparable part of his time in music, Doobie initially never expected his life experiences to resonate at such a profound level with others. “The wildest part about it is when I first started, I felt like I was just making the music for me…usually about what I was going through or been through, but it's not until I actually started releasing songs that I realized I was making music for others as well...which is what kind of helped me realize that maybe I'm not as alone as I thought I was.” He certainly isn’t alone and has captured the hearts and minds of an increasingly fervorous fanbase in the process.
When it comes to the ethos as a creative that will underscore ‘GIVE 'EM HELL UNTIL YOU GET TO HEAVEN,’ Doobie is crystal clear: listeners will see “an unapologetic human being who's not scared to believe in myself...I say it all the time, this album is the soundtrack to my redemption and all the lessons it took to get here!” It’s a powerful mission statement which he takes a step further when asked what his ultimate vision is as an artist: “#1 record on Billboard, #1 record at radio, arenas, stadiums, Grammys...I feel like this album is going to take me places I've never been before!” With a rapidly expanding audience and a drive to explore a vast array of sounds that inspire him, all without creative constraints, Doobie is well on his way to those headline moments that define a rock star.
