Few artists embody the metaphor of life as a journey quite like Joyce Muniz. Born in Brazil and raised in Vienna, the DJ, producer, vocalist, and radio host now splits her time between Vienna — where she runs her studio and hosts a show on FM4 — and Berlin. She first made her mark at Vienna’s legendary Flex club as a DJ and MC before moving fully into production, releasing on leading labels including Exploited, Get Physical, Kompakt, Permanent Vacation, International DJ Gigolo, and Pets Recordings. Joyce also spent five years as a radio resident on Rinse FM UK, further cementing her presence across Europe’s electronic landscape.
Joyce’s creative world has expanded significantly in recent years. She became the first woman to join Germany’s Synth Live orchestral project, taking her hybrid electronic–orchestral show across the country. Her 2023 album Zeitkapsel (“time capsule”) represented a major artistic leap and the launch of her own imprint, Joyce Muniz Music. The record revisited the sounds that shaped her — from trip-hop and downtempo to drum & bass, house, and electro — with highlights such as the Portuguese-spoken anthem “Arrivederci Bella.”
A deep spiritual and artistic transformation also fuels her work. After overcoming cancer in her early 30s, Joyce returned to her Brazilian roots through plant-medicine traditions linked to her grandfather’s shamanism — a rebirth that continues to guide her creativity and purpose. During the pandemic she honed her technical craft, became a sought-after workshop host for Native Instruments, and completed a Bachelor’s degree in radio presenting.
Her momentum has only accelerated. In 2024 she released “No Haters” with Renato Cohen on Permanent Vacation, followed by her breakout Kompakt debut “Beats & Lines” with Sara Bluma — a track that held the No.1 position on Beatport’s Indie Dance Chart for several weeks. In 2025 she returned with the Afro-electro single “Mo Dupe” on Exploited, a lo-fi Yoruba-inspired homage to gratitude, and the powerful Kompakt release “Hack The System” featuring Futuradora, blending electro energy with sharp socio-political commentary.
Equally dedicated to the community, Joyce serves as a mentor and A&R guide for Lady of the House Brazil, supporting women and non-binary producers in electronic music. On the road, she tours nonstop across Europe, the Americas, and Brazil — where her achievements earned her a Mixmag cover feature.
Joyce Muniz is an artist in constant evolution: a boundary-breaking producer, a magnetic DJ, a cultural connector, and a storyteller guided by rhythm, identity, and spirit. With new releases and collaborations ahead, her journey — already spanning continents, styles, and generations — is only just beginning
