About Me
Generate excitement
My name is Joe Antoine Gerges, but you might know me better as Joe Gé. For over a decade, I've been serving the music industry as a DJ, a dedicated light designer, and a meticulous operator. I am proud to say that my roots trace back to Beirut, Lebanon, the vibrant city where I was born and raised, and where I first began shaping my name in the realm of music and light design.
My fascination with minimal techno started when I was just 13. I found myself captivated by the beats and rhythms, drawn to artists like Traumer, Cezar Lazar, and 3lias who have played a significant role in shaping my musical style. Today, my DJing repertoire is a melange of house sets, subtly infused with my minimalist techno influences. This unique blend allows me to craft performances that take audiences on an immersive journey through a wide spectrum of sounds and moods.
Alongside my passion for music and art, I have always understood the importance of a solid academic foundation. I hold degrees in Advertising, Marketing, and English Literature, which have not only honed my skills but have also enriched my perspective, allowing me to approach my art from a unique standpoint.
With over 6,000 hours behind the lighting console, I have performed alongside Nicole Moudaber, Marcel Dettman, Jimi Jules, Trikk, HVOB, Raxon, Animal Picnic, Moblack, Lehar, Santiago Garcia, Sam Farsio, Soberboy, Darko De Jan, Jixo & Danz, Paul Svenson, Ivory, Mano Le Tough, Rolbac, Rony Seikaly, Øostil, Madjam, Enoo Napa, Francesca Lombardo, Cassy, Jenifer Cardini, Brina Knauss, Guy J, BOg, Hannes Bieger, Recondite, Sasha Carassi, Oxia, Musumeci, Citizen Kain, Shall Ocin, Edu Imbernon, The Element, Jonas Saalbach, Aera, Stephan Barnem, Konstantin Sibold, Namito, Savage & She, Sama Abdulhadi, Kaytek, Fady Ferraye, Jason Kaakouch, 2third, Mini B, DNK, Hasan Awada, 8Kays, Aaryon, Animal & Me, Brigado Crew, Ziad Ghosn, Hrag Mikkel, Delum, Haze-M, Hidden Empire, Kintar, Lunar Plane, Malandra Jr, Raphael Cerato, Rossko, Shosho, Undercatt, Space Motion, Stasi Sanlin & John Bowtie.
I have earned my stripes as a light designer and operator. Whether it's creating subtle mood lighting for a small venue or curating dramatic lighting effects for a larger-than-life event, I always strive to amplify the musical narrative with my designs. My work in this field has earned me significant recognition, something that I'm profoundly grateful for.
Innovation is at the heart of everything I do. I am always exploring new ways to heighten the relationship between music and lighting, constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in my field. I believe in the power of music and lighting as potent vehicles of communication, and my goal is to create moments of connection and transcendence that resonate with my audience, long after the lights have dimmed and the music has faded.
As I continue my journey, I remain committed to my craft, ever eager to learn, grow, and share my passion with the world. Because, at the end of the day, it's not just about the music or the lights. It's about the magic that happens when the two come together.

My experience includes dissecting the success of diverse brands, enabling me to deliver compelling narratives that resonate with target audiences. I not only create campaigns, but also provide the assurance of exceptional outcomes, backed by a promise of satisfaction or money returned. I weave together my love for creativity and data, shaping strategies that drive brand growth and customer loyalty.
Music
In the world of music, I wear many hats. As a DJ with over a decade of experience, I have developed a unique blend of house sets and minimalist techno influences, resulting in unforgettable performances. My work goes beyond the decks - I'm skilled in remixing songs for brand promotions on platforms like Instagram, understanding the nuances of what makes a track resonate with the audience. My expertise also extends to music direction, where I curate powerful line-ups, manage stages, and handle equipment with proficiency. I am committed to delivering the perfect sonic and aesthetic experience, down to the finest detail.
Acting
Throughout my career in advertising, I've had the privilege of acting in a multitude of campaigns. I've brought brands to life on screen, helping to communicate their stories and values to viewers in a memorable way. From TV commercials to social media video ads, I've taken on diverse roles that have required me to adapt and evolve, showcasing the versatility of my acting skills. My performances have not only created meaningful engagements for brands, but have also contributed to my deep understanding of how to effectively communicate a message to different target audiences. I approach each role with commitment and passion, embodying the essence of the brand to create a compelling narrative.
