Joe Debono studied classical piano with Mro.J Psaila. He discovered jazz at a young age through his uncle Charles Sciberras, a renowned local jazz drummer. Debono attended lessons in jazz improvisation at the School of Music, tutored by Mro. Paul Abela and more recently at the Conservatoire de Musique de Luxembourg.

The pinnacle of his formative phase came with Charles “City” Gatt who served the dual role of both mentor and drummer. He performed several times at the Malta Jazz Festival, playing among others with Sandro Zerafa, Nicky Doublet, Carlo Muscat, Amy Gamien, Lawrie Simpson, Lionel Boccara and Fabrizio Bosso.

Joe Debono plays at several local jazz venues and gives jazz improvisation classes at the Johann Strauss School of Music.
