Joseph Edward “Joe” Mulherin (born June 4, 1992), better known by his stage name nothing,nowhere., is an American singer-songwriter, rapper, producer and musician originally from Foxborough, Massachusetts and currently based in Vermont, United States.

He found his passion for music when he was 12 years old when his cousin let him borrow their acoustic guitar, with which n,n. covered popular emo songs. He doesn’t look back on those times with pride, and said the following in an interview:

If that sounds terrible to those reading this, I can assure you that it was.

He went through school going to and from bands, most of them never getting anywhere. While attending college, he started focusing on his own music, and then the name “nothing,nowhere.” was born. The inspiration for his music comes from blending more of the “heavier hip-hop elements” with “organic instruments,” while the inspiration for his stage name came from philosopher Alan Watts.

Since the inception of nothing,nowhere., he has released four full-lengths—Trauma Factory from 2021, ruiner from 2018, Reaper from 2017, and the nothing,nowhere. lp from 2015—as well as the three EPs: BLOODLUST in 2019 – a collaboration with friend and childhood idol, blink-182 drummer, Travis Barker, Who Are You? from 2016 and Bummer from 2015. He has also released one takes vol. 1, a compilation of reimagined nothing,nowhere. songs, and Trauma Factory Live. Many of his well-known singles, include the popular “Deadbeat Valentine” and “I’m Sorry, I’m Trying”."

Though some people falsely think that nothing,nowhere. is more than one person, he has on several occasions stated he is a solo act with touring musicians.
