Future Joy is the vibrant power couple of Emily Cooper and Zach Simms, a genre-blending, high-energy fusion of DJ performance and live instrumentation. Hailing from both Denver, CO, and St. Petersburg, FL, they’ve been igniting and uniting dance floors and festival stages for years.

Combining the best of Funk, House, Bass, Pop, Drum & Bass, Hip-Hop, Techno, Jazz, Dubstep, and beyond, Future Joy delivers a boundary-breaking sound that turns every set into an explosive, joyful experience. Both members sing, DJ, and play keys, while Zach brings an extra blast of energy on tenor, baritone, and bass saxophones.

Future Joy has brought their sonic celebration to iconic festivals like Bonnaroo, Hulaween, Treefort, Elements, Secret Dreams, Oregon Country Fair, Resonate, Joshua Tree Music Festival, and Memphis RiverBeat, among many others. They’ve shared the stage as direct support for artists such as The Polish Ambassador, Moon Hooch, BoomBox, SunSquabi, Manic Focus and Marvel Years.

Their love runs deep through the music, fully realized in their debut full-length studio album, NOW, released in 2025 and already gaining international recognition. As Your EDM puts it, “Together, they create music that elevates the soul, soothes the heart and eases the mind. Their music is filled with whimsy, unfiltered authenticity and pure bliss.”

At its core, Future Joy is about connection, community, sonic exploration and FUN! Their mission? To spread joy through music, one dance floor at a time.
