From an early age there were a lot of musical influences in Joey's life, mainly his father’s jazz collection. Being brought up on a blend of Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and Duke Ellington really sculptured the way he listened to music. Jazz was not the only influence though. Through out his home life music was every where. 


The really love of this thing called dance music and DJing started back in the early nineties. At the age of 17 Joey pick up his first copy of DJ mag and sent off some of those little reply cards trying to get more information on all things DJ related. Much to his surprise the label 'Strictly Rhythm' sent him a promo copy of their first vinyl album. From this moment Joey was hooked on all things house. The majority of his hard earned cash was spent weekly on the new imports and releases that could be found in his local record shop. The collection soon grew. The early days of Joey’s music choice were sculptured by the influences of Lil Louie Vega, David Morales, Junior Vasques and Joey Negro. These guys played a big part in the style he grew to love. 


Now a big jump of 15 years without DJing happens, and Joey will no doubt fill you in over a drink or two of why this gap happened. It is an interesting story, i promise you. 


So we are now in up to 2003, Joey decided to go clubbing with a friend. Now this was the first time in a very, very long time. For this return to the scene, he chose to goto Hed Kandi in Birmingham. This night brought back a lot of memories and the love for dance music. The whole funkier side of house that he heard inspired him to set up his turntables and start DJing again. This time though with a new drive and determination to get that break to play out on a regular basis. 


So that is where we are today. Joey has kept on pushing forward with his DJing with a lot of support from his girlfriend and other friends. He has had successful gigs around the UK, Ibiza, and Amsterdam playing along side the likes of StoneBridge, Danny Howells, Mischa Daniels and Leroy Thornhill. Lil' Joey has now also bee made official tour resident for the StoneBridge and Friends parties being held around the world.


Joey really believes that DJing is all about innovation and keeping things fresh, but at the same time making sure the crowd gets the party they deserve. Whether it commercial, funky, deep or the electro groove people seem to love at the moment, Joey is always prepared to give the crowd exactly want they want. 


Joey is also currently getting to grips with the remixing and producing side of things to and has already produced a couple of well received re-edits

Music has always been a passion of Lee H Michaels. By the age of 16 he was playing in the clubs of the South West spinning and honing his unique musical style, connecting with generations of clubbers. 
His journey began at The Tube in Tiverton, mid Devon, with the promotion brand Plastic Fantastic. Michaels quickly gained a strong fanbase and caught the attention of local party runners. He was soon a resident DJ for Big Hammer Promotions which led to warm up slots with luminary DJs such Tony De Vit, Trevor Rockcliffe and Steve Lawler.
Headlining sets led to his first overseas gigs in Spain, Ibiza where Michaels played with the cream of UK talent. Throughout his professional career, his aim has always been to work with quality promoters, with residencies at Electronic Sessions (London), Defected Records (Bristol, London), Magic Hatstand (Exeter), Housework (London, Corfu), and headlining Pacha in Egypt. Other guest slots include The Gallery and Saturday Sessions at the Ministry of Sound in London.
On the business side of the music industry, he has built his reputation by expertly managing clubs and festivals in the South West, as well as, tour managing for Defected Records/Glitterbox, working as Artist Liaison at the Ministry Of Sound and other big venues in the UK including: Motion (Bristol), SWG3 (Glasgow), Pacha (London) and many festivals.
With recent features on South West BBC Introducing Radio Show, Michaels is now focused on more music production in collaboration with new artists and vocalists.
Michaels’ connection to music has transcended over time. He remembers, two weeks after a very tough period in my life, the phone rang. It was Defected Records asking him to join the label as one of their tour managers
His talent and decades of experience continue to elevate his music success internationally
