By way of familial candor and visceral vulnerability, the twelve tracks comprising SONTALK’s 2019 full-length debut album, Stay Wild, chronicle musician Joseph LeMay’s journey of self-reflection, discovery, acceptance and, ultimately, growth. Throughout the creative process, LeMay’s path spanned everything from frequent admittance to the psychiatric ward due to intense bouts with bipolar disorder and a suicide in the family to the birth of his son and ultimately, his creative awakening as SONTALK. In 2016, LeMay met producer Jeremy Lutito [Chuck Berry, Colony House] at the suggestion of engineer Logan Matheny. Together, they brought the vision of SONTALK to life, recording Stay Wild alongside Matheny at Big Light Studio.
