Dolo Tonight by Just Tilted
Since 2019, LA based singer/songwriter Dolo Tonight has injected every release with a strong dose of his colorful personality and natural storytelling ability, proving his status as an up-and-coming anti pop sensation. Following his recent collab with Canadian artist, MICO, today, he shines a light on his witty lyricism with a quirky new single titled “Wakey Wakey”. Juxtaposing a dark storyline with bright guitars and an upbeat melody, clips of the song have already brought in over 1 Million views on TikTok.
“Wakey Wakey is about wanting to get away from your partner so much that you consider poisoning them just to escape – the twist is that they were also trying to kill you the whole time,” Dolo explains his vision. “I wanted to make something that was entirely ME, lyrically speaking. I’m the kind of person to just say whatever comes to mind, and I wanted to carry that same attitude in this song.”

On the making of the track, the New Jersey native says, “The funny thing is – it started as a super sad song with the same melody but then once I started adding wild stuff to it, something felt right. I showed it to one of my producers, Mandicimo, and he was like “THERES NO WAY IM MAKING THIS HAHA” and then 3 days later he’s singing it around the house and we recorded it within a day.”
After releasing a handful of infectiously melodic singles and accompanying music videos, Dolo Tonight signed to Epitaph and released his label debut EP ‘LIFE’S A PARTY THEN YOU’RE DEAD’ (2022). Twisting convention and catchy choruses into an intoxicating, sun-soaked blend of indie, alternative and rock, he’s seen recent growth on TikTok with over 2 Million views to date. At every turn, he is determined to take his craft to new heights – literally. In 2021, the LA by way of Jersey artist made history with his single “Higher,” filming the Highest Altitude Music Video in the Western Hemisphere from the basket of a hot air balloon. This skyscraping success came on the heels of his breakout “Too High,” which launched him into the top five of Spotify’s Top 100 Breaking Artists in 2019. His most recent single “Parking Lot Love Story” leapt to #7 on the iTunes Alternative Chart, cementing Dolo Tonight (real name Jonah Rindner) as one of the underground’s fastest rising names.
