To Be Juliet's Secret, an American pop punk and emo act, originated in the mid-2000s as a solo project by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Daniel Sumstine. The project quickly gained recognition within the underground music scene for its emotive lyrics and a sound that blended acoustic elements with the intensity of pop punk. The artist's penchant for crafting raw, heartfelt narratives struck a chord with a growing fanbase that found solace in the personal and often poignant themes explored in the music.

Building on a discography threaded with introspection and melodic hooks, To Be Juliet's Secret released a series of EPs and singles that showcased the project's evolving sound. With notable recent releases like "Laced With Fear," "The Nothing I Sing About," and the emotively charged "Drugs," Sumstine's ability to weave relatable stories into infectious tunes became more apparent. The single "Wrong From The Start" and the thoughtful compositions on EPs like "Dear Heart" and "Backstage" serve to further cement To Be Juliet's Secret as a touchstone for listeners who find themselves at the crossroads of vulnerability and the energetic angst that defines much of the emo genre. The project's development is marked by an ongoing journey of musical and lyrical exploration, as evidenced by the contemplative depth found in the title "The Start of Something New."
