About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Joffsta is a producer/ musician based in North London. He has been playing guitar and keyboards since the age of 11 and began producing his own music soon after leaving secondary school.
With eclectic influences ranging from Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Prince, Miles Davis and classical music, Joffsta's sound is best described as undescribable!
Joffsta always aims to create music that defies classification and despite mostly being instrumental, he aims to express a mood with each song.
Interpretation & Expression: The Joffsta showcase
I am currently working on a showcase project with several songwriters and producers. The aim of the project is for each artist to record a cover (Interpretation) and an original piece (Expression). Once finished the album will be professionally packaged and distributed at a live showcase event in summer 2007.
The Live Event
Featuring a full house band, the live event will see the artists perform their respective tracks from the album. I will utilise many industry contacts to ensure that the audience at the event contains the sort of people that developing artists will want to meet, such as:
Producers
Other Artists
A&R
Promoters
Label executives
Managers
My aim with this project is to create an effective showcase for the artists involved and to hopefully enable them to meet other like minded people to further develop their careers.
Artists that are already confirmed for the project are:
Jamie Woon
Supa Soul Brotha Del
Cherie
Simone Kaye
KWEST
Tavian
Corinne
Giovanni Sipiano
Soultre
Nic Brown (www.nic-brown.co.uk)
Maria Evangelou
Please note that no exclusive rights will pass to me as producer of the material recorded for the project. All recorded material is for sole use as promotional material for the artists themselves.
If you would like to be involved in the project in any capacity or if you know of any reasonably priced venues that can accommodate a 7 piece house band, please contact me.
Stay talented.
