JOYTO Records

In the sixties he was a singer in a famous French group. He was just fourteen when he had his first Rock and Roll hit on the famous Sidney Bechet label called “Disques Vogue”. The label had very big names in contract like Johnny Halliday, Petula Clark, Francoise Hardy and Jacques Dutronc.

At a later stage he even became manager and producer of some of his idols like Vince Taylor and P.J. Proby. That was in the period between 1974 and 1980 when he worked as a producer in Los Angeles. One day he had to be in Paris for TV recordings with his band and that was where he met the Dutch group called Ekseption.
The drummer of the band invited him over for a short holiday. It was instant love when he came to Amsterdam in March 1969.
His daughter, Joyce, has been born in Amsterdam in 1971 and he still lives there. Date of JOYTO's name born! (To Joyce)
