Joey Nappo is one of four siblings, a small part of a large Italian-American family that has been rooted in Atlanta for decades. He grew up around music, playing guitar and filling in on drums at family gatherings for his uncle, famed rock producer Sal Nappo (credits: DMB, Matchbox 20, Elliot Smith). While attending Lakeside High School, he pursued a career in acting and modeling. Nappo’s acting credits include We Are Marshall, My Super Psycho Sweet 16 and The Vampire Diaries. After graduating from Lakeside, Nappo moved to New York City and found modeling projects. He traveled the world as a runway model and continues to get film, television and print work. During down time on sets, Nappo found he was unable to avoid making music. Upon meeting Taylor Long, he committed himself to playing drums professionally. Nappo and Long called themselves In It for the Chicks. They began gigging in and around Atlanta while recording in Sal Nappo’s home studio, all the while looking for a bassist to complete the project. They met a bassist named Danny Rhodes in October of 2011.
