Born on December 13, 1997, in Watchung, New Jersey, Dolo has carved out a distinctive niche in the indie rock scene, blending elements of alternative rock, pop, and hip hop into what he describes as "anti-pop."

Early life

Jonah Elias Rindner was exposed to various forms of art and creativity from a young age. At the age of five, he was gifted a pair of drumsticks by his babysitter, sparking his lifelong passion for music. This early introduction led his family to purchase his first drum kit, allowing him to explore his rhythmic inclinations. During his time at Valley View Middle School, he became actively involved in the jazz ensemble band, which further developed his musical talent.

Career

Dolo Tonight began his music career in the indie music scene, initially performing locally and sharing his music on streaming platforms. His first commercial release, Zoom, showcases his distinct writing style, characterized by its introspective lyricism and a fluid approach to storytelling. This track gained traction and led to his signing with Asylum Records. In 2021, he released the EP Back to Earth under Asylum Records, blending ambient and hip-hop elements in a way that resonated with fans and critics alike. This project firmly established him as an artist unafraid to take risks and explore new sonic territories.

In 2022, Dolo shifted his focus to indie rock and signed with Epitaph Records. Reflecting on the transition, he remarked that signing with the label responsible for the punk anthems of his youth felt surreal. Under Epitaph, he released the critically acclaimed EP Life's A Party Then You're Dead, featuring tracks like "Hotels" and "Car Ride," which delve into themes of isolation and relationships.
