Early life

Greenstein, a native of Lynnfield, Massachusetts, began producing music as The BreakBomb Project at age 15.[5] His father, Randy Greenstein, is a principal of Big Night Entertainment Group, a Boston hospitality company. Greenstein has cited his father's background as a DJ as an early influence.[5] He graduated from the Pingree School in 2021 and studied media arts production at Emerson College.[5]

In 2020, the project's single "Deep End" became a viral hit on TikTok and other social media platforms.[2] Greenstein followed with "WHY", a collaboration with singer-songwriter Ava Petrillo that received radio play and Spotify editorial playlist placement.[2] In May 2021, he released "Drugs Don't Work" featuring Massachusetts vocalist Ryan Violet through the New York-based label Overdrive.[6][7] By June 2021, the project's releases had collectively surpassed one million streams on Spotify.[5]

2023: Pretaped

In May 2023, The BreakBomb Project released its second studio album, Pretaped, which Greenstein produced, wrote, and conceptualized as the first installment in a series of narrative-driven albums.[1][8] The album featured vocalists including Maxine and drew coverage noting a Boston Music Awards nomination for the project.[8] That same month, the project performed in support of Hardwell.[9]
