Over the past few years, the world of Joost Oskamp (aka Joast) was full of major disappointments. His band broke up, his relationship ended, he had to move in with his parents. Joast’s way of coping was to lock himself up in his parents’ basement with just a guitar and a tape recorder. Oskamp hops on a plane a few months later, armed with a suitcase full of demos and optimism, on his way to LA.
