Biography
Out of the ashes of the band "Atomic Fantasy" the Solo Project Joyslam was forged. Aboriginal artist RJ Martine (Vocalist/Keys/Percussion) was determined to create a unique musical style, an explosive mix of Funk, Rock, Reggae, Dance and Ska that delivers with Style & Attitude. And that he did, as evidenced by his recent signing to Trilogy Records International.
The new "HEAT MOON" CD brings that explosive, unique musical style to life. The 10 Track Disc was mastered by Juno Award nominee, George Seara (Recording Engineer of the Year) and was recorded at the renowned B Musique Studios in Toronto, Canada. The CD is available through:
CD BABY (www.cdbaby.com/cd/joyslam3)
THE ORCHARD (www.theorchard.com/dist/artistPage.php?artist_id=113963)
And their digital distribution partners including ITunes, Napster, Yahoo, E-Music, Lala and Rhapsody.
Joyslam's Music is now receiving Airplay on Radio stations throughout the North America, Australia, UK, Europe and Asia as well as Satellite Radio, College Radio and Multi Music Professional DJ Series, Hott Traxx cd's – sharing disc space with the Pussycat Dolls, Rihanna, T.I and Simple Plan. And Hott Roxx cd's – sharing disc space with Black Label Society, Metric, My Chemical Romance & Death Cab for Cutie.
Joyslam has several Live to Air Performance Music Videos recorded at Edge 102.1 FM in Toronto, Canada. While the broadcast Music Video for the single "EMPTY" is receiving airplay on ETV. All videos are available on the Joyslam websites at www.Joyslam.com or www.myspace.com/Joyslam
To support the digital/retail and radio buzz, Joyslam has played several major Festivals including opening for Rock Icon, Burton Cummings of the Guess Who to a crowd of over 50,000, and at the Worldfest Multicultural Festival with musicians from Australia, South America, United Kingdom & Africa. And by thousands of the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonaut Football fans with a high-octane performance at the Rogers Centre.
With over a decade of Music and Drama experience behind him, RJ has an intense passion for the arts, particularly music. After touring throughout North America, RJ cut his ties with Acting and concentrated all his efforts on Singing, and has expanded his range to nearly 5 octaves.
RJ is a charismatic powerhouse who engages his audience, commanding their attention, using drama and music to elevate the crowd revealing his creed that ~
“Music is Everything, Anything Else is a Distraction!”

SLAM FANS RAVES:
GARAGE BAND LISTENERS' REVIEWS
EMPTY:
Funky!!!
Love the Funky feel on this track all set up by the guitar and everything falls into place. From the get go, a great guitar jam and excellent vocal styling makes this song a hit in my book!!
TheMightyThor from Cape Canaveral, Florida
FUNK TO SAVE MY SOUL
This is some jammin' funk music. Musicians are tight, the bassist is SICK SICK SICK good. The rhythm section as a unit is a formidable piece. Guitarist is tight. The sound overall is kind of reminiscent of a band called Marvelous Sauce out of Canada in the early 90s. Funny. Nice scat singing, vocalist. This is a level of musicianship and production that you don't often hear on Garageband, and even more rarely on the radio. Nicely done...The only thing that sucks about this song is that it ends.
Ghostrunner from Amherst, New York
DO IT:
I can't stop bobbing my head!!!!
DAMN....The bass groovin' beat is SWEET! I really like the Trent Reznor touch to this song. The beat throughout this song really drives the listener into a frenzied state of mind! The vocals mix it up just enough to demand the audiences FULL ATTENTION. The subtle guitar nuances really add an extra layer to the song. I have to listen to this one more time.....DAMN....I think the mix/production for this song is perfect! Everything comes through nice and clear!
reKRAPgiARC from Plymouth, Michigan
UNDERSTAND:
Jump to the front of the line.
Have your ID ready. These guys sound great. The high end treble electric guitars and the deep vocals along with the dark drum track makes this song a radio must(a little like Johnny Van Zant and .38 Special). Its a very cool song and would listen to it again and again. "Follow Me" is best described as a Southern Rock song along the lines of The Outlaws and Allman Brothers.
ronsandefur from Southaven, Mississippi
ILLEGAL KISS:
What a great Get Down Sound.
Had me worried for a second... thought you may be hip hop with that intro... really kicks! the production kiks and that Spanish guitar comes outta nowhere and WORKS! Great production.
Bowling Green, Kentucky
