Joni Void is the newly minted pseudonym of producer Jean Cousin - known until now
in the Soundcloud, Bandcamp and other online communities as Johnny Ripper. A selftaught
musician making tracks since he was 14 years old and living in Lille, France,
Cousin moved to Montr al 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. Cousin has selfreleased
a cavalcade of original albums and remixes since 2011; Selfless is his debut
release on a record label.
