Peter Joynt – a musician, producer and mc from Ottawa, Canada. The Joynt has been rhyming for over a decade, having developed a distinctively strong style and flow. His writing is smart and largely conscious, while his music reflects tones of underground hip-hop. He is known for an energized live performance and spits with a passion often unseen in the world of hip-hop. One intriguing fact about Peter is that he stutters quite noticeably in conversation, yet it disappears on the track. It’s one of the many interesting characteristics that make him a force to watch in Canadian Hip-Hop.
The Joynt made waves in November 2011, when he released his new single Capcity – a love song about Ottawa. The video went viral and landed Peter on the front page of the Ottawa Citizen. The news story was broadcast nationwide on radio and television, and brought considerable attention to the Joynt’s music. He has since been approached to work on projects with The Ottawa Senators, Rogers TV, and Carleton University. So you can expect to see more from The Joynt in the coming months as we writes new material and rounds out his new album – “Self Sampled,” expected out in mid-2012. Keep your eyes out for this MC on the rise.
Peter graduated from Carleton University in 2004, where he completed an arts degree in Economics. He currently works in communications for an IT firm, and devotes his spare time to writing music.
