Jo Micali
Born as Joseph Micallef, in art known as Jo Micali, kicked off his love for making music as a teenager. He began making tracks on his playstation, using very limited sounds. He made good tracks, despite his limitations in equipment. He then sent a demo to Malta’s top DJ, JJoy, who was quite amazed at the fact that Jo made that quality of material using his playstation. JJoy saw very clearly that this guy had what it takes to make quality trance tunes, and told Jo to switch to using Logic 5.5 on a Macintosh laptop. He also introduced Jo to Glenn Frantz, who then gave him some basic knowledge on how to use this new software. Within weeks Jo got the hang of things, mastered Logic, and started to produce new material. Upon hearing this new material, JJoy was very impressed and signed Jo to his record label Real Muzik. He also started a side project with JJoy called Fahrenheit, which was also added to the Real Muzik roster. Influenced by the likes of Ferry Corsten, Martin Roth, Mike Shivers and so many more top trance producers, Jo is nowadays also evolving unique sounds of his own. He is now working in the Real Muzik Studios which is equipped with Logic 8, and two very powerful Macs. After new software and plug-ins are added, Jo spends long hours at these studios mastering his sounds and looking for new ones. Support for Jo’s music comes from the likes of top djs like Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Above&Beyond, Judge Jules, Mr.Sam, JJoy, Vast Vision, Sied Van Reil and many more.
