Born as Joseph Micallef, in art known as Jo Micali, Jo kicked off his love for producing music as a young teenager. He began making tracks on his playstation, using very limited sounds and possibilities. Despite these limitations in his novel equipment, the tracks were already rich in content. Following this, Jo Micali, sent a demo to Maltaís top DJ, J Joy, who was quite amazed at the fact that Jo had made such quality material using his playstation. JJoy saw very clearly that this guy had what it takes to produce top quality trance tunes, and told Jo to switch over to the Logic 5.5 sequencer on a Macintosh laptop. 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 immediately signed Jo Micali to his record label, Real Muzik. Recently Jo was also signed with UK based label, Branded Digital, delivering top quality tunes such as 'Contact'. Tunes such as 'Euphoria' are also scheduled to be released on Paul Van Dyke's prestigious Vandit label due early 2009. Influenced by the likes of Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, and Above & Beyond, and so many more trance producers, Jo is constantly evolving unique sounds of his own. He is now working in the Real Muzik Studios, which is equipped with Logic 8, and two powerful Macs. After new software and plug-ins are purchased, one can most certainly observe Jo spending long hours at these studio's mastering his sounds and looking for new material. Support for Jo's music comes from the likes of top DJ's including Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, Sean Tyas, Daniel Kandi, Alex M.O.R.P.H, Tom Colontonio, Above & Beyond, and many others. Also watch out for more trance masterpieces coming from the capable hands of this promising talent. Jo has also just started a radio show on En-Sonic every first and third Wednesday of the month which will feature the latest quality progressive and trance tunes, some good all time classics plus guest mixes by top DJ's from all around the globe. The show is called Hypnotic Sessions. Jo is also a resident DJ for Rype & Real Muzik promotions and one can listen to his sounds in every Rype & Real Muzik event amongst others. One can see a promising future for young Jo, whose passion for dance music is very strong. As he says, Music is my energy it's a way of life.
