THE JOY - An intimate live performance (Full) Showcase in London, Soho UK 2023 || Felt Music

Originally from a small town just outside of Durban in South Africa, The Joy met at high school after entering a singing competition together and is made up of band members Ntokozo Magcaba, Melokuhle Mkhungo, Sanele Ngcobo, Phelelani Sithole and Sandile Sphelele Hlophe. The teachers and other students loved their music and encouraged them to continue to sing as a group.
Through the band’s Instagram account, their music began to spread globally, soon catching the attention of high profile names within the worldwide artist community who instantly fell in love with the quintet’s repertoire of uplifting songs, unique arrangements and traditional dance moves.
One of those, inspired by their energy and authenticity, was producer Two Inch Punch who flew his equipment over to Durban, setting up in a hotel room and recording the band for their first session.
Soon after, TIP made the band his first signing to label imprint Love You Up, in partnership with his management team at September (Adele, Rick Rubin, King Krule, PA Salieu) and with us at Transgressive also joining the fold as The Joy’s publishing partners.
