If you like rock, reggae, hip-hop, or all three, chances are you’ll like Dirty Heads. And you won’t be alone. The Huntington Beach, California-based alternative band has carved out a growing niche with hits like “Lay Me Down,” “My Sweet Summer,” and “That’s All I Need,” and their new album, Super Moon, debuted in summer 2019 to strong reviews.

Front man Jared “Dirty J” Watson and guitarist Dustin “Duddy B” Bushnell sat down with Onnit Editor-in-Chief Sean Hyson to discuss how to make it in the music business (exact number of years included), how they survived rockstar indulgence and excess, and how they make a newfound commitment to health and fitness work with life on the road.
