Joey LaBeija - Tears In My Hennessey

Joey LaBeija has long been known in New York's underground as a DJ and producer of jagged club music, as well as fourth generation member of the legendary vogue house House of LaBeija .

Affiliated with friends and collaborators like Bbymutha and LSDXOXO, his DJ sets mix everything from ballroom to reggaeton to edits from forward-thinking club.

Today he  shares the lead single from his most personal project to date  - a new full length album also called  Tears In My Hennessey.

“Tears In My Hennessey is an introspective journey about allowing myself to meet with disaster, embracing vulnerability and deciding which path to take in order to heal: self care or destruction.”

“I wrote this project over the course of two months last summer while I was living out of my recording studio in Brooklyn with no money on the verge of a breakup to my partner of 3 years. Each song is very specific to circumstance at and was produced/recorded/finished one by one until the record felt complete. Sonically, the production and songwriting is a solid nod to my musical influences Roisin Murphy, Robyn, Burial, Missy Elliot & Portishead.”
