The Black Death Jody Burns Interview: Instagram's Dark Rocker Queen On Quelling The ‘Fireball'
June 2026
Jody Burns sits criss-cross in front of a stack of amps, bathed in overhead lighting, an electric guitar in hand. Every video on her Instagram page, @jodyburns8661, follows the same formula. Her black hair is frazzled. Her leather tank top is low-cut. Her chest takes up most of the frame, but then her music takes over.
