Well Joey Joe is my name, I fashioned it after one of my favorite hip hop producers (back in the day) which happened to be Marley Marl at the time. I've been DJing & producing (on a small scale) for too long, I started out as a rapper & after a while I was making pause mixtapes & beats to listen/rhyme to then later on I ended up learning how to mix, blend, and dj, while still being a emcee but the more I focused on the music the less I rhymed & the more I got into production (making hip-hop beats). I made a few beat tape albums but on a local level but I wanted to take it to a bigger level with the right equiptment & I'm still doing just that. I've been spinning (hip-hop & reggae) for & at parties since 1994 (would love to spin on the radio if I get the chance) but I have been mixing mixtapes for even longer. I've been into house music for a long time but didn't start spinning/mixing it until the late 90's but I still love underground hip-hop too. I'm a vinylholic, even though I have tons of cds & cassettes, I still crave & seek music on vinyl more than any other format. Right now I'm just perfecting my craft while getting attention through the internet for now, so I'm seeking fans, business connections, & socializing on my downtime.
