DJ Sophie Joy .:::. Curator of Jazzy Beats and Funky Jams

Digs on horn stabs, jazz licks, a whole lotta soul and funky hip hop beats. She's also had her own show on local station RPP FM too.

Self confessed music nerd, Sophie Joy has been taking over stereos at every opportunity for most of her life. From being THAT person at a party who has 'just one more song' to play for you, to having actually being paid to choose music once upon a time as a programmer for Triple M Melbourne and Mix FM Perth. Funk, soul, hip hop and jazz influenced beats for the discerning music lover.

Just under 48hr more until all these dreds are coming off as a fundraiser for the !! 🥳🫣🤗
Yewwww!!! 🤸‍♀️

According to The Cancer Council website, one in two Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85! 🤯 What a crazy, crazy statistic!!!
I hope this money raised will make a difference to those people and their families.

If you’d like to donate, there’s still time. Check the link in my bio!

I’ve decided to do the shave at home, with hairdresser duties going to my good friend Candice. We will get some photos and maybe even a cheeky video. Can’t wait to show you my number two buzz cut!!

A MASSIVE, MASSIVE thank you to all those who have donated and to those who’ve supported and encouraged me to do this. You guys are the BEST! ✨

Hey legends!
Come and enjoy some tasty, soulful beats this Sunday at 💛 I’ll bring the auditory stimulation while JimmyRum represent on the taste front with their incredible cocktail creations and beautiful food.

And please, if you have some spare dollars, I would be so grateful for you to sponsor me to shave my head. I’m raising money for The Cancer Council. As a lot of you peninsula folks will know, we lost a tenacious friend this week. So this fundraiser is lovingly dedicated to Lee. The head shave will be Saturday 4th November, and possibly held at a public place. I will let you know! The link to donate is in my bio.

📸 My year 12 school photo. It’s been 24 years since I shaved my head! 🤯

This is our maggie friend. They swoop the cat and scare off the other birds who come for a feed. I love that they come and hang out on our balcony each day!

12/10/2023

See all this hair?!?
I’m going to shave it off to help stop cancer. And I’d love your support!!! ♥️

These last few years some very dear friends of mine have been diagnosed with, and have lost the fight to cancer. Too many young people that I know have had a cancer diagnosis. So please, I’d love for you to sponsor me to shave my head from 7 years of dreads to a buzzy number 2!

Please use the link in my bio to donate and to help stop cancer! Cheers team x

LOVERS! 💕
Twice in my life I’ve found myself in fangirl situations where I lost the capacity to hold a decent conversation. Once in my 20s when I was at a party and found myself in a circle chatting with Dylan Lewis.
The second has happened twice when I’ve met DJ Manchild 😂
I’m pretty sure I’m going to have a third occasion, this November at VineHop if I get the chance to meet Ash and the The Bamboos! Oh man! I’m so excited. 🤩 I truly am humbled to be offered to play on the main stage at this year’s VineHop Sunday Sesh at the Briars. (Might add here that Sunday Lemonade are my friends and I’m PUMPED to play on the same stage as them!!! I fangirl over them every time I see them. Most loveliest people in the business, they are! 🍋)

Early bird tix are sold out but second round tickets are still available!
I’ve popped a link in my bio so get on it legends and I’ll see you there!!
🥳💃👌🥂

Ohhhh!! 💙 I love roller skating! Hot tip. The blue netball courts around the peninsula are the BEST! Smooth with no crease bits. This was at the Morno one (back when the weather was warmer!), but Tooters is good too and I haven’t checked it out up close yet but I think Red Hill also represents. Do you know of any other good places to skate that are smooth? I prefer to be outdoors than at a roller skating rink. How about you?

Well that was unexpected!!! What a bloody rad night!! 🤸‍♀️ When I got to St Andrews Beach Brewery there was some really nice house and disco being pumped by the staff so I had a good starting point. (I usually use the venue music as a starting place for my sets, often trying to match the tempo, vibe and sound and then I take it from there.) By 5pm we were totally pumping, the rad venue manager was telling me to turn it UP (that NEVER happens!) and next thing I know I can’t hear my headphones over my pumping tunes!! What an arvo!! For a 2pm-6pm gig I was not expecting that!! So legends, if I get another gig at St. Andrews Beach Brewery, you’ve GOT to come along and dance with me!! 💃

Our Story

Hailing from the Mornington Peninsula (VIC), DJ Sophie Joy is stoked to be bringing her unique sound to your ears!

A lover of big beats and funky bass, she’s got a mixed bag of delights for you. Funk, soul, jazz and hip-hop inspired beats and breaks, she’s quite fond of a good edit and mash up, too. Glitch hop, disco, house, reggae, dub… Her sets can head in just about any direction!

Weaving together all her favourite things - horn stabs, jazz licks, funky beats and soulful grooves, her infectious personality and positive disposition translates flawlessly into her DJ sets.

Having sold her soul for a few years working as a music programmer for commercial radio, she’s super pumped to have found her spirit home behind the turntables - spinning tunes that make her happy, the crowd happy, and keep the good vibes flowing, effortlessly.
