Harlem bred Journey Montana has already accomplished so much! She’s signed to independent record label, 10K Projects, has already toured the country and built a loyal fanbase, with hundreds of thousands of followers across social media. She’s now released her second EP and her star is continuing to rise with every new drop and post. Our Journey Montana interview jumps into her life as an artist, and what it’s like coming in to her own as a Stargirl. Following last year’s breakout single “Bad Decisions,” which went viral to the tune of over 2.8M streams, the rising R&B princess has been consistently dropping music in 2023, gearing up for the release of her sophomore EP. The consistency has paid off, and the recent release of the Eric Bellinger assisted single only adds to her legend. The EP was released on November 17, 2023. If it a sign of what’s to come from the singer, it’s only a matter of time before she is the a household name.

Get familiar with her story through our Journey Montana interview… I really try to leave it open to interpretation, but if I had to I’d say my style is like Avril Lavigne meets Drake. Parlé Mag: When did you first become interested in music? How did it all begin for Journey Montana? Journey Montana: I’ve been singing pretty much since before I could talk, so as soon as I could understand social media I was doing singing videos, then singing videos turned into putting verses on songs, then producers started reaching out. I recorded my first song in 9th grade, and I’ve been going ever since.
Journey Montana parle magParlé Mag: You’re a native of Harlem, NY, so, growing up in the ‘Black Mecca,’ who did you consider to be your strongest musical influences? Journey Montana: Teyana Taylor, A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg… and even though Rihanna isn’t from Harlem, I do feel like she has influenced me and other girls from New York a lot. I always say, if Rihanna wasn’t from Barbados, she would probably be from Harlem. Parlé Mag: As a songwriter, where do you draw inspiration from when you pen your lyrics? Journey Montana: I try to draw inspiration from pure emotion. When I write, I try to block out as much thought as possible and just sit in exactly how I FEEL. Parlé Mag: What do you want people to get from your music? Journey Montana: I’ve always said that my music is like a diary for me, so I say a lot of the things that I probably wouldn’t say out loud… So for other people, I’d really like to be an outlet for the things that they keep to themselves.
