Barbados-born, Guyanese-Australian artist Thorne drops by JOY Breakfast to talk about his sultry new single Honey, finding his queer voice, and why his music video almost didn’t happen (spoiler: Dad said no to soft-core in the house).
In this refreshingly honest and hilarious convo, Thorne unpacks the years-long journey to releasing Honey, how studying music therapy shaped his sound, and the power of showing up as your full queer self—even when family approval is complicated. Plus, we talk shirtless promo pics, launch party vibes, and the catharsis of flipping the bird to high school bullies through art.
It’s warm, honest, sexy, and proudly unapologetic.
