A product of Minneapolis, Joy was infatuated with music at a young age, but found his early inclinations to be a reflection of his different personalities. “I went through the really stereotypical high school phases — first I was the metal head kid and then I was the raver with the big pants and then I was the backpack hip-hopper,” Joy says.
In the Windy City, Joy – the kid who fell in love with turntables at 16 – has made a name for himself with his popular Fly By Night party series and working with everyone from Nick Catchdubs to the Cool Kids. Creating his own brand of rap-techno-rock fusion, Joy has carved a niche for himself and established a platform for other artists.
