Biography
Youth and first youtube videos (1995-2016)
Influenced by both of his sisters who listened a lot to 90's techno, young Jordan Rondelli develops a passion for music and stage performance[2].
He has been passionate about music since his youth, and learnt by himself to play the piano, guitar and drums. Later he became a DJ and beatmaker and even if success was hard to come by, he played on Fun Radio several times. While studying business in Grenoble, he stopped his studies at the age of 16 to focus on music.
Jordan Rondelli was the lead actor, at the age of ten, in the short film Tremblez, tyrans !''''', in which he played Henry Brulard[3],[4].
On the 26th May 2016, he created his YouTube channel named after his alias at the time, "YouTunes", and published his first video. It was a remix of a speech by Manuel Valls, using autotune to transform the politician's voice[2]. The videos he published afterwards are remixes of famous youtubers, such as Cyprien, with the clip William est gentil , and Squeezie who shared the music on his own channel[2]. Only one month after the beginning of his channel, he reaches the 100 000 subscribers[2]. Anonymous in the first videos, YouTunes ends up showing his face quite quickly. Apart from his remixes and parodies, he creates several original series like "Faire un beat avec" .[2]
Jordan Rondelli explains that he easily came up with his alias "Youtunes" and that it can have two meanings. The first is that You means "toi" in French, and Tunes means sounds, or music. The second, is simply a play on words of the name YouTube, into YouTunes to add a musical side.
Growing fame (2017-2018)
In August 2017, about a year after the creation of his channel, the site Vidclust published a ranking of emerging and fast-growing youtubers, and positioned YouTunes in first place in it, one rank ahead of McFly & Carlito[5]. The parodic videos published on his channel, such as Maquillée , which is a parody of Bazardée by KeBlack, and especially J'vais vous pécho (parody of Despacito by Luis Fonsi), are among the most watched on his channel and helped increase his fame[6].
At the end of 2017, he made his first collaboration with Boostee: Le monde de Disney! in which the two paid tribute to the Disney movies they grew up with, while pointing out with humor the inconsistencies of these films. By the end of this year, YouTunes' video J'vais vous pécho was the 6th most viewed French video in 2017 (excluding music videos), with more than 7 million views in a few months.
Meanwhile, along with several other popular youtubers, Amixem, VodK, Mastu and Neoxi, he joined the RedBox in Angers, where he has a properly equipped studio that allows him to produce videos and music more easily[7],[8],[9],[10].
Very committed to the pet rescue cause, in January 2018, Joyca stands out by joining forces to support the french organisation SPA of Cholet which was vandalized. He started a fundraising campain to financialy support the charity, and its residents. To this day, he continues to raise awareness about shelters for lost animals via his YouTube channel and his Twitter account.
First official singles (2018-2021)
Never hiding his desire to make more "serious" videos and music to make hits[2], in March 2018, YouTunes took the decision to change the name of his channel to "JOYCA", which seemed more appropriate[11]. This alias comes from JO (short for Jordan, his first name), Y (from the first letter of YouTunes) because that's what the root of his popularity and so the Y is in the center, and CA (from the English word cat, refering to his love for cats).
While still making comedic videos, Joyca released his first official single, High, on April 22, 2018, with a video directed by Kick Sama.
After the death of the world-famous DJ Avicii, Joyca paid him tribute with a new single, very influenced by Avicii's style: Heart and Soul, made again in collaboration with the singer Boostee. The clip is animated by the youtuber and cartoonist MyFuckinMess. Joyca composed music, while Boostee sings it. The topic of this music is not explicit and leaves many different interpretations; nevertheless, it is explained that we must continue to fight no matter what.
In June 2019, he shoot a video with Squeezie, in which they make a summer hit in 3 days, named Bye Bye, competing against Kezah and Freddy Gladieux, who made the song Mirador in the same amount of time. Then, they got judged by the rapper/singer Gims, who chose the song Mirador as the "winner". Both singles got famous and their creators even sang them at the 2019's Solidays music festival. The songs got broadcasted on national radio stations such as Fun Radio. Both of the singles are ranked in the sales charts of several music platforms and Mirador will even be officially certified as a gold record.
On 18th September 2019, he creates his Youtube channel Des Cuts & des Zooms with Amixem. This channel doesn't really have any concept, the youtubers publish videos on diffrent topics: cooking, music, random talks, funny activities with more or less famous people, etc.
The LOAT (2021-now)
In 2020, Jordan decides to leave the RedBox and creates with the youtuber Mastu a new place to work together on making videos: the LOAT (acronym of "Local Of All Time" and derivation from the popular expression "GOAT" meaning Greatest Of All Time). This place is shown for the first time in this video on August 14, 2021. It hosts their video production crews, as well as 4 other content creators: Théodort, Raska (both mainly youtubers) as well as Linca and Hctuan (both mainly streamers on Twitch). Like each of the other creators, Joyca inaugurates a new studio which he reveals in this video on August 22, 2021.
During the LOAT's first months of existence, a lot of works were done and Joyca made weekly vlogs, named VLOAT, in addition with the usual videos. These vlogs were meant to show to the public how life was in the premises, and how the works were going. The jingle of these videos is a music Joyca created in collaboration with the artist Cjae in the video "J'ai (encore) payé pour ça ?!" which already contained the expression "Local Of All Time" in the lyrics. A full version on the song, entitled "LOAT (feat. Cjae)", was published on May 29th 2022.
Simultaniously, he launched the second season of Des Cuts & Des Zooms with Amixem. Unlike season 1, all the videos follow a concept, inspired by the video "Philotacos" where the two Youtubers made tacos while chatting about philosophy with Cyrus North, an other Youtuber. So, in each video, they are in a bar set and they do an activity (cocktail making, salt dough, etc...) while chatting with a person with a special job: ex KGB agent, explorer, etc.
Joyca is also executive producer of the "Alpha" EP by Luther, aka ThéoBabac, a Youtuber and a friend of him.
