From the sun-kissed shores of Lombok to the buzzing streets of Bali. Starting out as a teen with a dream and a voice that could move mountains. Covering reggae classics from UB40 to Big Mountain — and paying heartfelt tribute to the legendary Bob Marley — Joe wasn’t just performing; he was living the spirit of reggae.
After some years in Jakarta, he returned to his roots, to the tropical island of Gili Trawangan, he became the soul of the legendary Sama Sama Reggae Bar. His voice echoed across sunlit beaches and starry nights, captivating backpackers, divers, yogis, and party lovers alike. Now known as JOESAI, he’s made Zurich, Switzerland his new home base.
At the core of Joesai's music is his storytelling. Drawing inspiration from his village and the people around him, he sings songs that bring everyday moments to life, whether it’s a funny incident, a heartwarming memory, or a deep reflection on love and community. It’s this connection to real, relatable experiences that makes his music so special. Each song is like a snapshot of a moment in time — a piece of his world.
