Brian's background as an artist and producer has included his association with:
Michael Buble, Andrea Bocelli, Chris Botti, Dean Martin,
Boney James, Ric Braun, Josh Grobin, Jeff Lorber, Joe Sample, George Benson and the 'Who's Who' of the music industry. He's had 10 of his own hits at #1 or in the top ten and puts out 2-3 CDs a year of his own in addition to producing CDs for some of the top names in the industry. Brian produces music with the full 'organic' sound of a large live band. It includes horn sections, strings, percussion and of course guitar. He is a bassist of renown and will be playing all the bass on my CD; a dream come true for me.
Joe - The Inside
Seeing my sister pass at an early age from cancer, it made me realize how important it is to live life to its fullest and not be afraid to stand on the edge to make our dreams a reality and to give gratitude for every moment. To breathe every breath like there's no tomorrow and share that light with everyone and with that I throw fear and caution to the wind. I sold whatever I could in a short length of time and gave away the rest to move to Califorina and pursue my gift and my dream of sharing my music with the world. I believe music is powerful beyond our comprehension and that I've been given this gift of music for the sole purpose of sharing it with others. I know in my heart that every person I've ever met, every conversation, every hug, every tear, every shared laugh, has shaped my music and who I am and why I'm here. And it is you, my unbelievable supporters (friends and family), that have lifted me up by believing in the music and knowing how deep and passionate I am about it. You have also helped open incredible doors of opportunity and given me the strength to believe in myself when I needed it the most. I am now able to walk through those doors knowing I'm standing in a place I couldn't have imaged 5 years ago. I am humbly asking for your support. With your help you will be contributing to not just a dream come true for me, but knowing you are an important and key part of this gift that has been laid in my heart and the sharing of this music that has touched you with the rest of the world. Please be a part of the next level of this spectacular journey. I promise to give a thousand percent of my gift to create an epic record.
Blessings,
Joe

What I'm doing and where I'm going
Smooth Jazz Promoter and Radio personality Jim Fitzgerald 'Fitz' of KJJZ radio took me under his wing and I've performed at numerous concerts for him on the Gardens on El Paseo
and most recently at the Rancho Mirage Art Affair in November where I opened for Grammy nominated Jeff Lorber and his band.

Fitz is the biggest Smooth Jazz concert promoter in Southern California and has helped me immensely by playing my music on KJJZ on his morning show, featuring me in his concert series and getting me very nice gigs. I'm blessed to have his support and friendship.
Last year I was contacted by a Jazz Promoter and Executive TV Producer, Patte Purcell, who had seen me perform and recognized my talent. She wanted to help me take my music from local to national/international. She set up a meeting for us with Brian Bromberg at his studio in LA where we spent over an hour listening to my original music and talking about my music and where I was going with my career.
Accomplished graphic artist
