What's the meaning behind Joey Meeks?

Firstly, my middle name is Joseph. When I'm around my Italian family, they tend to call me Mico Joe, to separate myself from my father. My friends have always called me Meeks, as a nickname for my first name. In short, it's my middle name and nickname together.

​

There is also a deeper meaning behind it. My first two initials are M J, and when people look at me, they see Mico Joe - the friendly, fun and laid-back individual with a sense of creativity. However, when I see myself in the mirror, I see the artist within me. The visionary and potential with both sound and filmmaking together. That reflection, M J vs. J M, also symbolizes the meaning behind Joey Meeks, and what finding and trusting that inner artist within yourself could mean to others as well.
