Born on Long Island NY Joe was raised with music. Joe's mom was a major influence in his musical journey at an early age. She was born and raised in Texas and also played yuke and piano. She saw the desire in him to play and when he was 12 years old he received his first guitar as a Christmas gift. He then wrote his first song when he was 16. Joe later learned the piano to help with his writing of music. It wasn’t until his later years that his passion for writing music truly developed.
