Joe's singing career started in his teens. On a mission to put some rice on the table by doing what he loved the most, he moved from Lombok to Bali. It was 1997 when the little-known (now famous) Reggae Bar in Bali called Apache, opened its doors and let Joe try his luck. Live on stage with his first band, Rhythm Voice, Joe's captivating voice pulled in crowds night after night. His love for Reggae's biggest icon was impossible to ignore. Inspired by Bob Marley, he began to write and compose music. His song Once Upon a Time by Joe Mellow Mood became a tourist anthem, and Joe gained worldwide fans. He teamed up with another well-known venue, the legendary Sama Sama Reggae Bar in Gili Trawangan. For the better part of a decade, Joe's voice was a staple on the beaches of Gili. Almost 30 years after moving from Lombok to Bali, Joe settled in Zurich, Switzerland and released his first fully self-produced album in 2021 and a brand new single in April 2022.
