Decoding Joema
The musical chameleon, from Slash to puppet shows.
JOEMCA IS a musical Rubix cube. Flip him one way, and he's a groupie-inducing rock star with a brooding onstage persona and a resoundingly deep voice set to catchy electronic beats. Flip him another, and he's a pensive, classically-trained violinist and pianist. Flip him yet again, and you'll find a composer of Chinese opera music who scored his own quirky music for puppet shows. No easy puzzle to solve, Joemca is a hybrid of his diverse artistic and personal influences, from Slash to Dylan Thomas, Jeff Buckley to Sam Cooke.
