Glasgow's very own Joesef is a storm of talent who is frighteningly just getting started.
From meeting Elton John and playing Glastonbury to selling out shows in Glasgow and beyond, it is safe to say that Joesef, aka Joseph Traynor, is making wave on the UK's music scene.
Alongside local musicians like Terra Kin and Cara Rose, the East End singer who used to pull pints in his local is now carving a place for alternative soul in Glasgow's music history.
Speaking with the Glasgow Times, the 27-year-old from Garthamlock talked about his upcoming Saturday set at TRNSMT and let's just say, he's ready to cause it.
He said: "I'm excited for TRNSMT, I think that will be one of the biggest festival moments for me because it's my home crowd and I'm on the main stage.
"Last time I played the festival I was on the King Tut's Stage and my album wasn't out.
"It's always nice to come home and have a Glasgow crowd, it's the most feral that a crowd can be, in the best possible way. So, hopefully, it will be good.
"I feel prepared for it, I'm ready to come to TRNSMT and just cause it."

Throughout the 35-minute set, Joesef is hoping to fuel the crowd with 'banger after banger' and leave behind a show that attendees will never forget.
With a performance in Paris right after the Glasgow Green festival, Joesef is certainly hoping to chuck in a trip to Glasgow soon.
Speaking on the city, Joesef highlighted La Cheetah and Max's Bar as some of his favourite places to soak up a wee booze in Glasgow.
The singer's main stage show comes after a performance at the famous Glastonbury festival.
Speaking on the 'bucket list' moment, he said: "Glastonbury was so special, it was one of the best weekends of my life.
"I was genuinely shocked at how many people were there, it was probably one of the biggest crowds I've played to.
"You don't know what to expect at a festival, you're always expecting a couple of people but it was f***ing amazing.
"It was such a bucket-list moment and was good practice for TRNSMT."

Joesef even got to meet the legend himself, Sir Elton John.
Speaking on the encounter, Joesef said: "My manager told me that Elton wanted to meet me and so I went into the backstage area behind the Pyramid Stage and you can imagine what kind of people were walking about, it was amazing.
"We had a wee chat and I felt just very privileged to be in his company.
"He said really nice things about my music and how he listens to it in his house with his husband. I was just flabbergasted, it was amazing.
"I think just being where I'm from, you never expect to be in proximity of someone like that. It was very special and it's a day I'll never forget. I can't stop thinking about it."
From local Glaswegians to music icons, it is safe to say that Joesef's breathtaking vocals have not gone amiss by anyone inside or outside the industry.
Joesef's debut album, Permanent Damage, is out now. You can listen to Joesef's music on Spotify.
