Joey Negro is the main alias DJ, producer, remixer Dave Lee works under, amongst many others.

Dave integrated his passion for disco music into house music as both a producer and as a remixer, causing many to call his music disco-house. He released music under a plethora of monikers for a multitude of record labels throughout the 1990's into 2000's and beyond.

His lifelong relationship with dance music began in the late 1970's, when he began collecting disco, soul, and funk records. In 1986 he moved to London and began working at a record store, Smithers Leigh. The store closed down a year later, however, and Lee began working for Rough Trade Distribution, starting its dance department, De-Mix, and working with labels like Rhythm King Records.

He started his own label in 1988, Republic Records, and released his first production, M-D-Emm's "[m=14969]". He also went on to A&R classic house records for Republic Records by Turntable Orchestra and Blaze.

His first release as Joey Negro came in 1991, "[m=79550]", released on Nu Groove Records. This was followed by "[m=112394]", released on another of his labels, Z Records and eventually released on major Virgin's sublabel Ten Records Ltd. (10 Records), becoming a club and pop hit; resulting in an album deal with the major label. He also notably produced pop boy-band Take That's version of "[m=93258]" with 1960's songstress Lulu.

Throughout the remainder of the decade, he continued releasing his productions under many aliases and had even more success as a remixer, not to mention his DJ-ing. Most recently Dave has continud to find considerable success in recording.
