BOY JR. is the songwriting and production project of Ariel Allen-Lubman (they/them/he/him), an artist blending electronic, pop, indie, and punk with infectious songwriting and sharp production. Their latest album, I Love Getting Dumped! (October 2024), is a high-energy exploration of heartbreak, humor, and self-discovery. A DIY powerhouse, BOY JR. has headlined grassroots tours across the U.S. and shared stages with The Living Tombstone, Lovejoy, KOPPS, Jhariah, Vial, and Jer. Beyond their music, Ariel has become a vital voice of hope and resistance for young queer people, using their platform to champion self expression in a time of cultural and political pushback. With their genre-bending sound and fearless creativity, BOY JR. continues to redefine what it means to be an independent artist.
