Spotlight On… Star Student Christian Joy-Ito

 

RRFC student Christian Joy-Ito

Since joining the Recording Connection for Ableton Electronic Music Production program Christian Joy-Ito aka CJOY has impressed us with his musicality, can-do attitude and growth.   What’s it like learning from mentor Nathan Jenkins?   “It’s been really cool. It’s very hands-on…Having someone there to walk me through everything is really what’s making me a better producer overall. I can ask him anything, whether it’s, like, releasing music or more music business stuff like negotiating deals if I get a DJ gig, or more technical questions, like mixing stuff. I feel like he’s kind of like an open book and I can just ask him anything. He’s very cool in that aspect.”   What do you think students need to do in order to perform well as externs in the studio?   “You have to put in the work outside of the studio…because otherwise, you’re just kind of having someone hold your hand through it. I feel like I’m at the point where, I’m still learning , for sure, but I’ve done enough work on my own where I can kind of hold my ground to an extent.”   So what are your plans for the future?   “Release a good amount of music. Tour for a bit. Have a live setup. I already have an idea in my head of, like, the whole visual setup I would have and all this stuff…Then ideally, a residency in Las Vegas after a number of years…then working with a lot of other artists.”   Connect with CJOY on Instagram.
