Joe's Bio:
Joe DiPadova (de-PAH-de-vah) performs from coast to coast, frequently playing the very best events with the very best djs at his side. Quickly building a worldwide reputation as one of Global Soul's young rising stars, Joe's adept combination of DJ and music production talent, coupled with a kind, down-to-earth nature have allowed him to garner the respect and friendship not only of many deeply involved with the music, but of crowds across North America.
Apart from DJing and production, one of the largest manifestations of his musical vision has come through event promotion, including his ongoing event in Phoenix called ONE (One People, One Soul, One Love). At this gathering, DiPadova brings together people of all color and sexual orientation through a common spool of thread - expression through dance and love of music. Guest DJs have included the who's-who of soulful dance music: Rich Medina, Jihad Muhammad, Ian Friday, Garth Trinidad, Jojoflores, Julius 'the Mad Thinker', Osunlade, Joaquin "Joe" Claussell, Lars Behrenroth and DJ Spinna, amongst many others.
With eye on the forefathers of the past and an ear to the progression of the future, Joe DiPadova has become a disciple through music, serving to make positive change via rhythm & dance. Whether it's through his deep and introspective productions or his music selections in Disco, Funk, Soul, Jazz & Techno based dance music with African and Latin rhythms, DiPadova's vocabulary in music transcends generations, continents and consciousness while interweaving gatherings of people into one elevated symposium of dance.
