Joey Youngman

The owner and A&R of Fetish Recordings, Joey Youngman has been producing house music since the ripe age of 11. With extensive training in classical and jazz piano, he had a strong foundation to start from.

Most of Joey's early teen years were spent satisfying his obsession for making electronic music. Eventually, he fell so in love with house that he decided to focus his energy completely on it. This was during the peak of the 'massive' scene in California, where young Joey found himself inspired by the fresh new sounds of this music he so loved.

After watching Mark Farina and Derrick Carter play to 25,000 people, Youngman picked up his first set of turntables, and began learning how to mix records. This new craft taught him how to move people with music, and enlightened him in his own music production. Joey soon began playing at clubs and parties before he was old enough to get in the front door.

Now with over 10 years of production experience under his belt and a huge library of original tracks to show for it, Joey also finds time in his hectic production schedule for DJ gigs -- a way to spread his patented flavor of house music to the world. His discography is growing extremely fast, and shows no sign of slowing down any time soon. Future plans for Fetish Recordings include a great deal of Joey's original work, and a few surprises from some new groundbreaking artists; watch out for a new release every month. Youngman has also joined forces with Tony Hewitt under the alias "Young Governors," and Jonene under the alias "ManWhore."
