Joseph Mayon, a Louisiana native, grew up in his mother’s dance studio, was tossed onto the big stage at age 4, and never left! His parents enrolled him in voice lessons at age 10, and began performing in community theater. After graduating from Interlochen Arts Academy in 1998, Joseph Mayon began teaching voice in his mother's performing arts studio. While attending the University of Denver, Mayon taught an after school music program teaching middle school students how to read and understand music. In 2003 Mayon began a musical theater career and performed in many National Tours and Off-Broadway. While performing in Wickenburg, AZ, the director of the Dell E Webb Center of the Performing Arts was so impressed by Mayon's performance that she asked him to be the voice instructor and co-conductor for their summer musical theater program, Camp Imagination. Mayon accepted and the students performed Disney's Aladdin Jr with great success. From 2012-2015 Mayon was the voice instructor, director, and conductor for the Beacon Program on Roosevelt Island at PSIS 217 in NYC. The Beacon Programs are school based community centers serving children ages six and up, and adults. In the spring of 2017 Mayon began the after school Musical Theater Program hosted by St. John the Apostle School producing Disney’s The Lion King KIDS. The Mayon School of Performing Arts was then born.
