KeyJ

Hi, my name is Bob.

I'm a musician and wannabe producer. I've been playing guitar and singing in choirs since I was 14. When it comes to instruments, I'm mostly self taught, so I've always played by ear. I've started and stopped many music theory tutorials over the years, and I've been able to learn some theory, but it's pretty basic. I've found that really limiting when it comes to trying to write music, transpose, or jam with others.

I recently started jamming with a friend of mine who's a DJ. He uses Pioneer DJ controllers, and when he's doing harmonic mixing, he's speaks in the language of Camelot notation.

Having worked in software development for decdes, that collaboration sent me on a quest to build a tool that I can use to learn more about music theory and the camelot wheel. I also wanted a tool I could use to improvise in key while my friend is mixing, or when I'm in a jam session with other musicians.

So I started developing KeyJ for myself initially. Eventually I partered up with some friends to use it as a vehicle to launch an app development company, JoyPunk.
