Joee Mejias

The Philippines

JOEE MEJIAS is a projection designer, composer, video and music producer, and performing artist from Antipolo, Philippines. Joee's music blends multiple rhythms, contrasting sounds and harmonies using acoustic and electronic instruments, and voice inspired by the constant flux and chaos of their environment, as well as nature's seemingly random compositions. Their work thrives on the magic of improvisation, and collaboration, fostering a space for personal and creative exploration.

Joee has been performing as a musician using several monikers, currently, performing as joee mejias/jōeeii (solo), dj mangocurry, Sister Joyce, and Joee & I, a collaborative avant-pop music project where she creates participatory site-specific musical performances. Joee has contributed music to films such as "Medusae" and “Bari-Bari” and has performed across Southeast Asia, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Australia and has toured the Philippines. She was co-producer for WSK: Festival Of The Recently Possible, an international festival of digital arts and electronic music in the Philippines.

Additionally, she is co-founder and organizer for HERESY, a Manila-based female-curated art platform that pushes for a more gender-inclusive new media arts community and increased visibility of women who work with various forms of creative technology. Currently, she is an active participant at Synthicide, a Philippine concept project, fledging artist community and interest group for keyboard/synth players, synthesists, DIYers, circuit benders, makers and enthusiasts.
