Joy Moughanni

Joy Moughanni is a Beirut-based producer, engineer, and songwriter, as well as a partner at Beirut's Tunefork Studios. Transitioning to his solo career, he became a sought-after production collaborator in Beirut’s alternative scene, producing several albums for regional artists, exploring genres like Punk, Noise, Hip Hop, Electronic and Pop.

Joy’s personal work explores sound in relational contexts, drawing from archives, his architectural studies and spatial sonic installations and collages.

Recently, he has been sonically exploring themes of personal and political manipulation through his debut solo noise and ambient album “A Separation From Habit” Voted #48 on The Quietus 2025 Album of the year. The album is an introspective exploration of cyclical trauma that transcends the narrative of post-war identity. This collection of electronic performances and sonic collages draws from archival recordings made on tape by the late Georges Tarazi between 1975 and 1985. Through these fragments Moughanni confronts themes of occupation and the ongoing crises that have shaped the Lebanese experience since the first Israeli invasion in 1978, carrying through to the contemporary realities of October 2024, during which the album was created.

Joy continues to build solidarity within Lebanon’s small but vibrant artistic community.
