Joni Void is the musical persona of Montreal-based French/British producer Jean Cousin – previously known in the Soundcloud, Bandcamp and other online communities as johnny_ripper. A self-taught musician making tracks since he was 14 years old and living in Lille, France, Cousin moved to Montréal in 2012 to pursue Film Studies. He plunged into the city’s fertile DIY/loft scene and in a spirited transformation, evolved from cloistered bedroom/virtual persona to highly engaged organizer and performer.
