Find harmony in chaos
Billie Joe Armstrong cuts through the noise
Billie Joe Armstrong’s journey from the punk rock underground to sold out stadiums worldwide wasn’t a straightforward path. It had ups, downs and more downs. But he always got back up on his feet. In no small part thanks to the people he met along the way.
Playing the music he loved meant traveling in a beat-up Ford van, via dingy live venues, squat parties, and backyard gigs. He spent night after night sleeping on floors of people whose names he’s still not forgotten. These early years didn’t make him much money, but it made him a whole lot of fans.

Defy or unify
His deftness for writing about personal experiences that speak to people whose lives are worlds apart has firmly established Billie as a phenomenon. A musical enigma who has brought the punk ethos to people who’d never even tiptoed around the genre before. He’s proven that the movement can still sound rebellious yet be accessible to anyone.
His emotionally explicit and often political lyrics have earned him the adoration of generations of teenage exiles; the Green Day Idiot Nation. He understands the power of words to defy or unify an audience, and he has always chosen the latter.
Rock ’n’ roll is a state of mind
To this day, Billie Joe Armstrong’s influence continues to transcend time and place. Even at the height of Green Day’s success he somehow keeps finding ways to break the rules to connect with a new legion of fans. Like by spontaneously taking the stage at a local bar to sing during a Green Day covers night. We couldn't be prouder to work alongside this music legend who truly embodies that rock ’n’ roll is a state of mind.
