His parents directly gave him piano lessons. In just a year or so, he could already play difficult jazz pieces. For him, jazz is really great. It makes him feel free when he is playing it. That's why he likes jazz best, but not classical music or pop music.
In December 2011, Joey was invited to play in front of the wellknown jazz musician Herbie Hancock during his visit to Indonesia. At the age of 12, Joey had performed and collaborated(合作) with many top jazz musicians. He has performed in many jazz festivals like Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival.
