Joey Paradis - DJ Service

Joey Paradis’ Interview/Bio

What inspired you to enter the realm of musical creativity?
>>>
Life!
Can you expand a little on what in life initiated your relentless drive? What triggered you to become who you are?
>>
I was in my mom’s womb listening to the guitar pressed up on her belly even before day 1. I assume that must have influenced me somehow.

I was born into it. My mom was a songwriter. I feel like not being a part of music would be denying my life’s destiny. I was that nine year old falling asleep to Mom’s jamming out at 2 am in the morning every night. I’d eventually pass out under the bundle of coats my mom’s friends would drop in one of her bedroom’s.
>>
I figure I can be a hero by moving people with music. The impact it has made for me to feel like I belong to something greater is what I see creating for other people out there who have always felt l like misfits or outsiders.
>>
In a sense, I’m here to give back what music gave to me a life force.
Music is an all-inclusive language and is probably why I feel at home with it.
>>
What kind of music influenced you to write music yourself?
>>
What really inspired me to make music was the Thriller album.
The album’s sonic quality impressed me and made me want to create this kind of vibe for people everywhere.
I was a major dance freak.

I won an M.J. impersonation at a Roller Skating Competition to MJ’s music back in Dallas once upon a time, cause I was so into flowing to music with my body and mind, I couldn’t help but express it naturally. I would impersonate MJ as a kid strutting down the street with my headphones on, no matter what town I was in this intensely satisfying groove bubble it created for me. Passerbys would always take notice, and smiled, wishing they could get in on the action.

Eventually, I become a DJ and invited people in on the action by providing them with the vibes to do so, and once gear for production became more accessible, in other words affordable, I jumped in immediately on the opportunity to learn how to write my own tracks.

So I started as a dancer, then DJ, and now forever a music producer.

The music I make has gotta move me and make people want to dance. My only rule is that people feel like bumping to my music, no matter how out there it evolves into. Otherwise, I take it back to the drawing board to make sure it does.
>>
What are your goals in music?
>>
'Music has literally saved my life'

My goal is to be a part of the creative process and make kids feel welcome in the universe the way I did as a kid thanks to music, happy to just be listening and flowing to the pulse.

The greats wanted to inspire the younger generation and they were certainly successful.

I’m here to do the same.

I feel like if I put all my heart into it, then nothing can stop me.
I’ve been resilient ever since with this mentality.

I’m always here to catch people’s attention with a breakthrough of showing people that being yourself is what makes you shine, not being better than the last or the next. Just being different and being proud of it.
Being the avant-guard instead of a bridge artist.
I’m not here to just mimic the standard or apply math equations via music theory, but give you my blood, sweat, and tears translated into sound by breaking all the rules yet staying in line with whats important.
>>
What would you say your sound falls into in terms of genre?

>>>
' I just realized the tracks “Say, Say, Say” and “PYT” even "Thriller" on the Thriller Album,

have a lot of the Foundation of sound that’s known as ' FUTURE BASS ' future bass in terms of how the horns, the bass, and the orchestral drops fall into play within its composition. This is why Thriller will never get old.

My future pop sound concept is kind of a throwback to this kind of pop in a way as I was so heavily influenced by this music.

I don’t know if people will dig it, but I’m trying to make music that in 100 years people will still turn the volume up when my tracks hit their headspace. Like putting a timeless spell on my sound.

My mission is to give a heightened experience, to manifest a moment the will eco an eternity to give a boost to my listeners to help them live and breathe their dreams as well, no matter how strong the current flows in different directions.

So tell me Joey, is Paradis a stage name, or is it for real your name? If so, that’s pretty dope.

Ya, that’s really my name. No joke. Paradis means Paradise in French.
