She was introduced to music at the age of 6, taking piano, drums and singing lessons at the public music school Erfurt in Germany. At age 14 she taught herself how to play the guitar. Soon she wrote her first songs and made a name for herself.
At the age of 16, when composing a song for a project of Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am, she got her first international attention.
Until 2010 she used "Joon West." as a short version of her maiden name for herself as a songwriter. Joon Wolfsberg lives in Tybee Island (Georgia) and in Erfurt Germany.
In July 2010 she recorded the demo album Green Boots, which sold out within a month. Shortly after the album"s promotion tour, her father Joe Wolfsberg contacted United States music producer Zach Allen, who agreed to produce the album Made in United States of America. The song "Please" received hot rotation airplay on Radio Swiss People’s and became very well known among the Swiss.
From January to April 2012 Joon recorded her second album, Wonderland, with Brad Smith (bass) and Christopher Thorn (e-guitar) of the United States-based band Blind Melon, and Pearl Jam drummer Dave Krusen.
The album sold out on amazon.de on the night of its release. In 2013 Joon recorded her third album, Revolujoon, which featured former Yardbirds lead vocalist and bassist John Idan on bass, Toni Funk on guitar and Micha Mihla on drums. Joon Wolfsberg wurde zwar in Köln geboren und wuchs in Erfurt auf - klingt aber ziemlich international.
Irgendwo zwischen der Jefferson-Airplane-Sängerin Grace Slick, Folkrock-Elementen und ganz viel Joon Wolfsberg.
Doch wenn man ihren ins Alternate driftenden Gesang und den zwischen abgeklärtem Folk-Rock und in Nostalgie badenden Alternativ-Rock-Sound ihrer Band vernimmt, könnte man meinen, die Dame hätte schon viel mehr hinter sich als zwei Dekaden Leben. The Financial Times Deutschland nominated Wonderland on June 3, 2012 as the "Album of the week" and it got the highest rating, 5 out 5.
