Shaham Joyce

Shaham Joyce (Jewish = Shacham) was born in Colorado Springs/Fort Carson (USA) on November 11th, 1978. A couple of years later he moved with his father Billy Joyce and mother Karolina to Germany. His father Billy was totally occupied with his job in the US army, his mother Karolina was shift working as a nurse. For this reason Shaham had to learn at a very young age to handle his life on his own. When other school kids were still playing, Shaham started to work in order to save money for his first BMX bike.In the year 1994 he noticed his outstanding talent and started to devote himself to music which became a substantial part of his life very quickly. In 1996 he founded his first own band called “Los Locos”. The band consisted of 5 young musicians who slowly but surely became a well-known band in his region. During this period of time Shaham got his nickname “The Loc”. Additionally he gave way to his musical creativity by singing and rapping with the band “Me and the Heat”. 2 years later in 2000 he founded the band “Beatrockaz” with Brandon Perkins.Shaham´s lyrics are about his own experiences and emotions which again quite often helped him through difficult situations in life.Shaham´s participation in the TV auditioning show “Popstars” started a new phase in his life and meant a huge chance for him. He discovered lots of new things in life. With the band “Bro´Sis” he has had numerous hits: 11 singles in the Top 20s and 3 albums for which the band received double Platinum and Gold status. He received various awards such as the BAMBI, VIVA Comet, Top of the Pops Award, the Golden BRAVO Otto… just to mention a few.Shaham says: “Popstars” has been my apprenticeship which I have successfully finished.”Within these 4 years Shaham did everything he could do. Stamped by all theses experiences he is now stepping into a new phase of his life, in which he is dedicating himself totally to his lyrics and just the right beats. Shaham is the best example for the fact that you have to fight for your dreams. The strength is to never give up.His music consists of commercial and electronic beats. Within the interaction of tricky but very significant lyrics day-to-day situations are being described in which every human being can be involved or already had been involved.Shaham does not try to re-invent music but he calls his style “HIP-POP”.
