About Jacquie Joy: Jacquie has been making beautiful music ever since she began banging upturned saucepans on the floor of her mamma’s kitchen. Next came the sparkly toy guitar, and later the teen punk phase. Okay, so maybe the music wasn’t always beautiful, but it was always joyous. Over the years, Jacquie steadily honed her musical chops, in bands, in duos, and as a solo performer. She learnt how to read audiences and reach out to them, sometimes across the rowdiest rooms imaginable. But most of all, she learned the value of versatility. Somewhere along that 10,000-hour journey towards musical mastery, an ear for composition developed. Originals muscled their way into setlists, and dreams of widescreen musical canvases took shape. Today, Jacquie writes for a truly global audience, composing in every genre imaginable – from classical to bluegrass, techno to thrash. And with an innate ability to incorporate world music and rhythms into her craft, there’s no place on the musical map Jacquie won’t venture with you on your next film, video or interactive journey.PR
