History and Career Of The Band
The band all started when John Notto moved to Santa Monica, California in a pursuit to create a successful band. When he moved there, he met Marc Labelle. They became friends and have been doing shows together. After their second performance in Sunset Boulevard, the two decided to make a band in 2017. Eventually, Justin Smolian got recruited by Notto. Then, Corey Coverstone got recruited by Justin Smolian in search for a drummer.
When the four members of the band got together, Labelle decided to come up with an official name of the band. He came up with “Dirty Honey” as the name. The origin of the name was when musician Robert Plant was talking about “The Honeydrippers” band in an interview. He mentioned that it the name sounded like a “dirty” band name. In 2018, when MarkDiDia, a veteran from Columbia Records, listened to the band’s music, he became their producer and manager. In October 2019, the band became the first in the Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs chart’s history to get a #1 single unsigned.
