Music career
Under the name Joe Lean, Bernays fronted Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong, who released their first single in October 2007 and have been tipped for success by the NME and finished seventh in the BBC Sound Of 2008 poll.[2] However they disbanded before ever releasing an album. He had previously been drummer for the Pipettes, working under the name Robin of Loxley. His last appearance with the Pipettes was 23 June 2007 on the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury Festival. The NME reported that he had written songs for the Sugababes' new album, however in a later interview Van Moyland said that the agreement had fallen through.[3]
Personal life
In the mid-2010s, Bernays decided that he "didn't want to be in front of the camera anymore" and began a career change. In 2020 he moved permanently to Mallorca with his partner, fashion designer Steffy Borras, and their two children, where he opened a bar named Ocho.[4]
