Joe and his brother Mario wrote their first song, titled 'Victim,' in 1996. Their band, initially called Godzilla, was later renamed Gojira. Gojira's debut studio album, Terra Incognita, was released in 2001.

Max Cavalera and Igor Cavalera initially asked Jean-Michel Labadie, bassist of Gojira, to do bass duties for their band, Cavalera Conspiracy; however, Labadie was busy with prior commitments, including Gojira. Instead, Duplantier ended up being the band's bassist. He has stated that Gojira is his main priority and that is the reason he has not done extensive touring with Cavalera Conspiracy. In 2008, he was replaced by Johny Chow on bass duties for Cavalera Conspiracy. Duplantier did not appear on the band's second album, Blunt Force Trauma.

Joe is the owner of Silver Cord Studio, a recording studio located in New York, which he designed himself.

Joe also plays drums occasionally during live performances when he and his brother Mario Duplantier switch places.

Personal life

Joe Duplantier has been in two bands with his brother, Mario Duplantier; one being his main project, Gojira, and the other being Empalot.

Some of the lyrical themes of Gojira reflect Duplantier's personal beliefs in preserving the environment. He is part of the environmental corporation Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Joe is a vegan.

Though he was born and raised in Bayonne, France, he now resides in New York City where he lives with his wife and child.
