Joe Smooth
Joseph Lorenzo Jr. Welbon (born May 9, 1963), known by the stage name Joe Smooth, is an American house music producer and DJ who gained international acclaim during the early 1980s. By the new millennium he held the reputation of working with acts like Destiny's Child, Ludacris, New Order, Whitney Houston, and many others across genres. He is often credited as essential to the creation of house music as a genre, with co-production of the Chip E "Jack Trax" ep, and became an influence to major groups like Daft Punk, who often played Joe Smooth's music during early live shows.
Joe Smooth has earned gold and platinum record awards for his work. In 2015 he started his own record label, Indie Art Music, focusing on producing music in all genres and all areas of the music industry. In 2023 the label merged with the Atlantic Traxx Group run by legendary industry music manager and A&R Michael Hague to form IAM TRAXX which will continue the original label's ethics of releasing quality dance and electronic music of all genres from both major and upcoming artists worldwide.
