Sam Fröjdö (1976) is a composer and musician, active in Turku, Finland. Isle Of Joy is his solo project, which started in 2020.
    The project is based on Fröjdö's lyrics and music. The prog-inspired music is written for more or less a traditional rock band set-up, expanded with strings, brass and background vocals. The upcoming solo album is recorded in cooperation with  the musician and producer Jonas Franck (Jonas Franck Productions).
    Isle Of Joy will release a number of singles this fall. The date of the release of the upcoming debut album will soon be announced.
    Isle of Joys' music is rich in melodies, themes and independent motifs and interludes. The composer's fascination with Frank Zappa's music is obvious. The drums - Fröjdö's main instrument - have a very important role in the compositions, not only as an accompanying instrument, but also as a solo instrument.
    On the forthcoming album, the composer plays most of the instruments. The project's producer and sound ingeneer Jonas Franck also participates (electric bass) as well as guest stars Charlotta Kerbs (vocals), Robin Pahlman (guitar) and Kimmo Gröhn (guitar, saxophones), to name a few.
