乔 史崔尼出生于美国纽约LONG岛，是一位有着娴熟技巧并认真负责教学的吉他艺术家，他的学生包括金属乐队的Kirk Hammett和Steve Vai。在年轻时代结束了在国外广阔的旅行之后回到美国组成演奏组。这个计划在1984年从头到尾没有太多的商业气息，乔 史崔尼不失时机的将它们浓缩在他的实验性的吉他演奏里。这些成果都释放在他的专辑EP〈Joe Satriani〉里。接下来一段时间随Greg Kihn乐队的〈爱与摇滚乐〉专辑里。乔 史崔尼发行了〈Not Of This Earth〉，一张比后来的〈Surfing With The Alien〉不算精练的专辑。
做为Kirk Hammett（金属乐队主音吉他）和Steve Vai的师傅，Joe Satriani的名声远没有他的徒弟显赫。但是他的众多吉他独奏专辑仍应验了一句古语：姜还是老的辣。与他的两名徒弟相比，Joe Satriani 的演奏风格快速但不激烈，在慢板作品的处理上别具匠心。Joe Satriani的音乐中宗教痕迹较重，"Big Bad Moon"(坏月亮)中阴柔的吉他演奏配以他低沉的嗓音，营造出诡异的气氛，"吉他巫师"之称名副其实。
。。。你的这种行为绝对称上我歌我声最积极同志。。。
