From a young age all that Joe wanted to do was imitate every interesting sound he could, just like his grandfather Robert Johns. This quirky interest married with an immense love for drumming resulted in the rare skill of beatboxing. Joe continued drumming and completed a Bachelor of Music (Jazz Performance) at the Elder Conservatorium of Music (2014-2016). Throughout his time there he was awarded the Directors Award (2015), Bendigo Bank – Top Undergraduate Jazz Drummer Award (2016) and The John ‘Slick’ Osborne Scholarship (2016). The broadening of his musicality through tertiary education inspired him to incorporate a loopstation into his beatboxing in 2014. Subsequently he established himself as a song writer, performer and story teller by the name of MC ME.
