Joy Orbison, whose real name is Peter O'Grady, is a prominent figure in the UK electronic music scene, known for his eclectic blend of dubstep, garage, house, and techno. He burst onto the scene with his critically acclaimed debut single "Hyph Mngo" in 2009, which became a defining track of the UK's post-dubstep landscape. Born in London to a family with a musical background—his uncle being drum and bass pioneer Ray Keith—O'Grady was immersed in a world of sound from a young age, which has influenced his innovative approach to music production.

Over the years, Joy Orbison has become known for his genre-defying sound and a discography that showcases a commitment to pushing the boundaries of electronic music. Recent works such as "still slipping vol. 1," his 2021 debut mixtape, exhibit his knack for crafting atmospheric soundscapes that weave together personal recordings and diverse sonic textures, inviting listeners into his introspective world. Singles like "Bromley / Still Moving," "81b," and "Transition 2 / Systems Align" further illustrate his versatility as a producer, while his remixes—for instance, the Joy Orbison Remix of "Ke Shy"—display his ability to reinterpret tracks with his signature style. With each new release, Joy Orbison continues to cement his status within the electronic music vanguard, building a legacy as dynamic as his beats.
