Get an insight into the lives and minds of artists in our series of ‘Artist Breakthrough Stories,’ where we hear about their passions, how they got to where they are today, and their defining “breakthrough” story.
In this video, JUNO the Artist talks about her musical journey— from being introduced to poetry in her high school English class, sharing her guitar playing on YouTube, touring the world with Fifth Harmony, and collaborating with her childhood hero Keith Urban.
While working at a drug rehab facility for teens in Chicago, she learned how to play guitar to connect with a withdrawn boy who shared his passion for guitar with her. She discovered how music could break down communication barriers and was a tool for connection and healing.
“He just needed someone to listen to him,” she explains. This experience was a pivotal moment for JUNO too. She continues, “I literally could feel something going through me, something happening—that’s the power of music.”
