Joshua Kyan Aalampour is a 23-year-old self-taught classical composer of Chinese and Iranian descent. Despite being born in New Jersey, he spent a total of 7 years living in China as his parents were entrepreneurs. Because of this, his childhood was marked by a series of unorthodox events and sudden moves.

His musical studies began in 2017 when he decided to teach himself how to play the piano. He used online MIDI videos and other free resources off the internet. With consistent 6-hour practice sessions, he found himself accidentally composing pieces of music. Dumbfounded by this unintentional outcome, he decided to self-study music theory and composition as well. About a year and a half later, he would go on to perform that same accidental composition as a complete piano bagatelle at Lincoln Center. 

Contemporarily, he is working on expanding his compositional style.

A Joy & Madness dance party lives up to its name by breaking down barriers between the dancers, listeners, and the band, while creating grooves which inspire joy in the soul and madness in the body. An eight piece soul and funk explosion out of Sacramento’s growing funk and jam scene, Joy & Madness brings its namesake to every performance and leaves everybody sweaty, inspired, and full of joy.

In December of 2012, when five members of Sacramento soul band, The Nibblers, founded Joy & Madness with former Nibblers lead vocalist, Hans Eberbach, those two words were the best words to describe the music they loved making together. The band was soon joined by long-time Sacramento funkateer, Miss Nyxi, and the prolific funk guitarist, Bobby G, who had a chance meeting with Miss Nyxi while sitting in with Tower of Power’s Roger Smith. Bobby G, who had played with and produced the likes of Earth, Wind, and Fire, Sheila E, Lionel Richie among others, added his raw talent and musical ingenuity to the band, bringing the music to new levels.

Joy & Madness has been rocking stages all over California since inception, sharing the stage with the likes of Collective Soul, The Monophonics, the Motet, and the Pimps of Joytime. Hans Eberbach, who has been compared to the legendary Peter Wolf of the J Geils Band of the 70′s & 80′s brings so much energy to the stage, he has broken right through the floorboards. Meanwhile the three piece horn section delivers funky lines over grooves reminiscent of Tower of Power. With their self titled original EP, the band is bringing its brand of funk to festivals, parties, and clubs in all directions to the delight of party people everywhere.

Funky, Punky and Intergalactic: Skunk Funk traveled from the dystopian planet of Esoterra only to crash land onto a small suburb in American Canyon, CA. In orbit or on Earth, it is their sole mission to bring every crowd they woo an animated yet uplifting and off the wall experience. A spellbinding fusion of Punk/Funk/Ska is their medium of choice in their battle against degradation and lameness.

Over the course of the last 4 years, they have managed to independently release an EP entitled “Too Fresh to Function” and a full-length album entitled “Possession 4 Sale”. Most recently, they have released they're best work yet through their 2018 "Cirque Du Skank" EP, which also comes with music video.
