Joseph "Joe" Axiak (born 18th November 1989) is a Maltese multi-instrumentalist, mostly known for being the keyboardist for the band [Relikc] since 2008. Apart from Relikc, Joe plays bass for the band Scarlet Sally, but also involves himself in a multitude of projects all year round.
Relikc and Scarlet Sally
Having started learning the piano at age 9, Joe started meddling with bands from the age of 13 either as a keyboardist, drummer or singer. He started out by performing in a number of school concerts including the very popular St. Aloysius College Battle of the Bands. After competing against Relikc in 2007, he was asked to join the band as a keyboardist in 2008, which became his main focus for the years to come. Later in 2011, Joe started playing bass with the band Scarlet Sally which stemmed from his new interest in playing bass.
Involvement in other Projects and Organizations
For several years, Joe performed in many Symphonik concerts, either as a singer, choir member or keyboardist.
Joe has participated in Strummin' since 2004, missing only the 2007 edition as a singer, choir member, percussionist, drummer and keyboardist. Since 2008 Joe has been directly involved in the coordination of Strummin as a Guitarist Coordinator, Band Coordinator and Music Coordinator. He also has taught songs to guitarists in preparation for the concert throughout the summer months leading to each event. In 2014 Joe taught 20 songs to over 80 guitarists in preparation for Strummin' "The Elements", and performed the same songs as a keyboardist with the rest of the Strummin' cast for two memorable nights.
