Pharaoh Jo Interview With Colby

Guide

Hello, Pharaoh! What Do You Enjoy Most About Being A Musician In 2026?

2026 has been super fun so far. I just put out my album and of course the hit song “Enough For You” arrived with it, giving me a boost of popularity. Popularity is totally new to me, I knew it’d begin one day but it’s still something new for me! It’s opening the door for me to work with other artists, help smaller artists learn how to sound better or get better results, and I’m also getting contacted by fans of the album expressing emotion toward the album. It’s been the best year of my career and it’s only just getting started!

Which Track Of Yours Means The Most To You?

Vena Amoris off my new “A Wasteland Called Love” album is currently my most meaningful track to me. After reflecting on past relationships and betrayals, Vena Amoris ends the reflection and begins the transition into positivity. The song ends with a message on marriage and raising children based on my own experience on the positive impact it had on my life. My family is everything to me, this track was actually a late edition to the album because I felt like I should include a track that ends it on a high note. I wanted to show people there is an escape to the betrayal they may be experiencing.

The First-Ever Gig You Played, Can You Remember It? How Was It?

I’ve yet to play a gig! I’m actually an extremely busy person even outside of music. I balance so many things, but a gig is something I’d be more interested in as popularity increases!

What Do You Think Is The Key To Success As A Musician?

Consistency and perseverance! If you release, promote yourself, and create your music in a consistent way then eventually the right people will see it. If you don’t give up you’ll essentially create a catalogue of music for future fans to dive through and enjoy! Even if your sound and numbers aren’t where you want them to be yet, just keep working and improving until they are!

If You Wasn’t A Musician, What Job Would You Be Doing?

I actually still work a job, I won’t go into details but I have a Bachelors in Psychology and help autistic children!
