Joy Anandasivam is a Montréal based guitarist and composer of multiple disciplines. His music mainly draws from two incredibly rich and different worlds, South Indian classical music, Carnatic and Jazz. His interpretation of Jazz through the eyes of Carnatic music and the adaptation of Carnatic music and its stylized embellishments on the guitar leads to the creation of a fusion of music which unveils the beauty and creativity of both.
From his Jazz Quartet, the Techno fusion band Urban Native and the Indian fusion trio Tantra to the present Told You So project, the thread that consistently prevails throughout all of Joy’s musical endeavours is his virtuosity and ingenuinity. He continues to steer his musical journey into uncharted territories exploring jazz and other impressionist textures along with his study of Carnatic music.
