Joe Thornalley started publishing music on his Bandcamp account under the name Vegyn about 10 years ago, after growing up in Kilburn, northwest London, the son of music producer Phil Thornalley (whose credits include the Cure, Pixie Lott, and Natalia Imbruglia’s “Torn”). His breakthrough came in 2016, when he was credited as a producer on several Frank Ocean songs. He met Ocean at Plastic People, a semi-legendary electronic nightclub in London, which is also how he came across James Blake, handed him a USB stick of songs, and soon heard some of them being played on Blake’s BBC Radio 1 show. Since then Vegyn has produced music with Scott, JPEGMAFIA, and various others, as well as co-hosting Ocean’s sporadic Beats 1 radio show, Blonded.
