After making waves with their brilliant debut single ‘Satellite’ earlier this year, emerging alt-rock upstarts Sunrise In Jupiter are back on the grind once again to deliver their anthemic new single ‘Take Me Home’.
Bringing back more of that raw and emotive guitar-driven aesthetic they are earning a reputation for, ‘Take Me Home’ makes for a stellar return to form for them. So we sat down with them to discover more about their origins and what has been inspiring them most over the years.
–
What inspired you to start making music, and when did it all begin for you?
For me, it started with this feeling — something cosmic, like divine intervention. I don’t force it. It’s like receiving a vibration, or channeling something that already exists out there in the universe. I pick up my guitar, and the songs just come through me. It’s less about trying to create and more about being open enough to receive the music. I follow that feeling until something resonates deeply, until it feels like the signal is coming through clear.

How would you describe your sound to someone who’s never heard your music before?
It’s like standing in the middle of a storm in deep space. There’s a pulse and energy from Johnny’s thunderous drums and George’s bass, and then Will and Adam build this massive wall of guitars that feels endless. It’s cinematic, heavy, emotional, and atmospheric all at once. The goal is to make you feel like you’re traveling through space and time — like the music is a transmission from somewhere far away, but it hits you right in the chest.
⸻
What’s your creative process like when writing or producing a track?
It almost always begins with a channel — a vibration I can’t explain. I’ll pick up the guitar and just start creating until I feel like I’ve caught something real. Usually, I’ll have the full song mapped out before I even take it to the band. Then, the magic happens. That’s when we “Sunrise in Jupiterfy” it — Johnny brings his power on drums, George locks the pulse on bass, and Will and Adam create this massive, atmospheric guitar landscape. Honestly, when I listen back to finished songs, I sometimes get goosebumps and think, “Did I really write this?” It feels like it was given to me by something bigger.
⸻
Who are your biggest musical influences, and how have they shaped your sound?
I’ve always been drawn to artists who build entire worlds with their music. Pink Floyd, for their journeys. Black Sabbath, for their weight and raw emotion. Deftones, Hans Zimmer, and even space ambient artists — anyone who creates landscapes of sound that you can get lost in. I want the listener to feel like they’re stepping into a universe when they hear our music, not just a song.
⸻
What themes or messages do you find yourself coming back to in your music?
Distance, connection, and the fight to find hope in the middle of pain. With Mission to Mars Vol. 1, it was deeply personal. Leaving my wife and daughter behind in Los Angeles to pursue this opportunity in the UK was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. My daughter was 8 at the time, and I had spent every day with her since she was born. Suddenly, I went six months without seeing her. That tore me apart. The record reflects that — the longing, the guilt, the determination to make the sacrifice worth it. Vol. 2 is about healing, but there’s still plenty of raw emotion in there. At the core, it’s always about searching for connection, no matter how far you’ve drifted.

Tell us about your latest release — what’s the story behind it?
Take Me Home was written during a personal reckoning with distance, family, and the weight of carrying a message across galaxies — both literal and emotional.
The track was directly inspired by a voice message from my daughter that I saved years ago, recorded in a moment when I felt a million miles away from her. She said, “Daddy, I miss you. When are you coming home?”
That message shook me to my core. It felt like she was voicing everything I was feeling inside.
The song became my response to her. It’s a broadcast for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re drifting too far — and a reminder that home is never out of reach. Even when you’re carrying the weight of the universe on your shoulders, there’s always a way back.
⸻
What’s been the most exciting or surprising moment of your music journey so far?
Honestly, it’s been the unexpected moments of connection. Like when Will, our guitarist, discovered my music on Bandcamp and told me, “This is the music I’ve been waiting my whole life for.” I wasn’t even trying to start a band in London — I was here on another mission entirely. But moments like that feel cosmic, like the universe is aligning things for a reason. And hearing from fans around the world, seeing comments from places like Venezuela — it’s surreal. It reminds me that these signals are being received across the world.
⸻
What challenges have you faced as a new artist, and how are you working through them?
The biggest challenge has been the personal sacrifice. Leaving my family behind to chase this dream was devastating. But my daughter has been part of this journey every step of the way. She’s actually the best A&R I could ask for — she tells me straight up which songs are the bangers and which ones aren’t. She even sings on a track called Stars Aligned, doing background vocals in the chant chorus. I think about her constantly when I’m writing. Keeping her part of the process keeps me grounded and motivated to push through the hard moments.
⸻
How are you using social media and online platforms to grow your audience?
I treat social media like mission control. It’s where I send out the transmissions and keep the journey alive. I don’t just post — I tell a story. Visuals, captions, reels, everything is part of the larger narrative. I want people to feel like they’re part of the mission, like they’re following along on this interstellar journey with me. And seeing people respond from all over the world proves it’s working.
⸻
What’s your vision for the future? Any dream collabs, goals, or projects you’re working toward?
The vision is to expand the universe of Sunrise in Jupiter even further. I want to build immersive live shows, collaborate with filmmakers and visual artists, and create a full sensory experience for fans. Playing a show at The Sphere in Las Vegas would be cosmic ! At the heart of it, I’m just chasing the goal of writing the best music I can — music that provokes thought, stirs emotion, and makes people feel like they’re not alone in their own journey. If I can do that, and bring a few people home along the way, that’s the mission complete.
