Peter O'Grady, better known as Joy Orbison or Joy O, is an English electronic musician. His style is a coalescence of house, dubstep, UK funky, UK garage and oldschool jungle.

O'Grady credits his uncle Ray Keith for introducing him to jungle and UK garage at a young age. At 13, he took up DJing and eventually moved into production in his 20s, using Fruity Loops to create 8-bar grime loops before developing his sound combining house, disco and dubstep. He cites influences as diverse as J Dilla, My Bloody Valentine, GG Allin, Josef K and The Beach Boys.
His debut single "Hyph Mngo" was called the most forward-thinking dubstep track of 2009 and received airplay and floorplay worldwide. [2] This was followed by "Brkln Clln" on O'Grady's own label Doldrums, which he ran in tandem with partner Impey. [3] In 2010, O'Grady released "The Shrew Would Have Cushioned The Blow" on Aus Music, an eclectic record label founded by Will Saul and Fink.
"Hyph Mngo" was voted #23 in the Resident Advisor top 100 tracks of the 2000s and #1 in Fact Magazine's top tracks of 2009. [4] [5] He was named number 18 in NME's New Music Tips of 2010 [6] and voted 19th in the Resident Advisor 'Top DJs of 2012' poll. [7]
In 2012, O'Grady began residencies at his own London based club night 'Just For You' and at Manchester's 'meandyou' party. He also launched a record label called Hinge Finger which is co-run by artist Will Bankhead. [8] As of 2020 Joy Orbison plays himself as the host of Still Slippin' Los Santos, one of the in-game radios stations in Grand Theft Auto Online. Although advertised in-game mainly as a techno/drum and bass pirate radio station, the fictional station plays experimental electronic, UK hip-hop, Grime and Dancehall.
