DJ & MC
Style: Brazil, Electro, Funk, House,

Joyce Muniz is a Vienna-based, Brazilian Dj, vocalist, club promoter and producer; as well as being one of the protagonists of a new, yet to be defined music style. Equipped with musical impressions of her home country Brasil, Muniz evolutionizes the European club scene with new mixes including original Afro-, Jamaican, Carribean or Brazil sounds mixed up with electronic beats & massive bass. Now who finds a definition of Muniz musical creation? Rave with percussion and Portuguese paroles? Modern Afro music? Global Bass? Muniz gets it to the point:

“World Music. I vote for that. To be honest, musical globalization is a must.”

Born in 1983 in Sao Paulo, Joyce Muniz arrived in Vienna during the mid nineties and was soon introduced to the vibrant Viennese electronic music scene. Short after her first DJ gig at the tender age of 16, she began collaborating as a vocalist with Markus Dohelsky aka Shanti Roots (Vienna Scientists) and I-Wolf (Sofa Surfers/Klein Records). In 2007, Muniz teamed up with Stereotyp for the first time and together, created the first Funk Mundial 12” “Uepa/Jece Valadao” (Man Recordings). In that same year, she and Shanti Roots started producing under the name of Monte Laa Prod and released their first 12”.
