The name OUTLIER came years before Joey Arena realized he’d been describing himself all along.

As the founder, songwriter, and architect behind the project, Arena has built one of independent music’s most respected careers. With millions of streams, support from SiriusXM Octane, Billboard and Top 40 success, and collaborations with artists including Chris Motionless, JD of Ice Nine Kills, Danny Leal, Hyro the Hero, and Sen Dog, OUUTLIER has become known for music that pairs emotional weight with modern heaviness.

Arena remains deeply involved in every aspect of the project, from songwriting and arrangements to visual concepts and creative direction, continuing to shape OUTLIER with the same uncompromising vision that inspired it from the beginning.
