Vegyn

Joseph Winger Thornalley, known professionally as Vegyn, is a British music producer, DJ and graphic designer. He is best known for his production work on Frank Ocean's 2016 albums Blonde and Endless.

Career Vegyn was born in London. His mother Julie Thornalley worked as a graphic designer, and his father is musician and songwriter Phil Thornalley. He began performing in 2013 while studying design at the London College of Communication, teaching himself how to make boom bap beats after encouragement from fellow musicians. He later left university to focus on music

Around the same time, he met fellow music producer James Blake during a 1-800 Dinosaur event at the now-closed London nightclub Plastic People. Vegyn gave him a USB of songs he had made under the Vegyn moniker. Blake later played these songs on BBC Radio in 2014.

In May 2023 he released the album The Head Hurts but the Heart Knows the Truth under the name Headache. The record is credited to Vegyn as producer and mixer, with lyrics written by Francis Hornsby Clark. Some listeners speculated that the vocals on the album were produced using AI, and that Clark himself may not exist, owing to his lack of social media presence. Vegyn confirmed that the vocals were AI-produced, but insisted that Clark was real, a friend he has known for years who keeps a low public profile. In October 2025 a second Headache album was released, titled Thank You for Almost Everything.

Vegyn debuted his AV Live show at Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, sold out his London show at EartH two months in advance, and played select US dates including The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles and Webster Hall in New York. In April 2024, he released his second album, The Road to Hell Is Paved with Good Intentions.
