I'm reaching out and humbly I'm asking for your help in raising money for an opportunity of a lifetime and that's to share my music with the rest of the world. The production of my new CD, The Flow, will be produced by one of the top musicians and producers in the industry,



Brian Bromberg, a world renowned producer, as well as an Emmy nominated and award winning musician with 10 hits of his own who has has taken me under his wing.


We are moving forward with producing an album. Bromberg and some of the top 'A List' players in the industry will be guest musicians on my CD.

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

"As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way" 

Another passion of mine is giving to charities. I've done monthly concerts for ChildHelp, Passion for Childern, R Star Foundation, Relay for Life, Loving all Animals, Living Free, Pet Place International, Glennwood Housing Foundation, Spirit Mountain Retreat, The Marquee Performing Arts and many more in the Southern California area. In giving I receive the biggest blessing of all!!

A non- profit organization, (Opera Art), is sponsoring me and letting me use their 501(c)(3) for this fundraising to go towards the production of my CD. In return, I am promoting their organization, their logo will be on my CD, marquees,  and website. I will also performing live for Opera Art events.




I am fundraising $56.000 for this project and I can't do this without your help.

What this money is going towards:

One of the most well respected musicians and producer in the
industry, Brian Bromberg Producer fees 
Professional live string section musicians fees 
Professional live horn section musicians fees
Professional back up singers fees 
Fees for some of the most recognized and respected musicians
in the smooth jazz industry accompanying each song
Fees for engineering and mastering using Brian's
personal engineer who has work for some of the A-list players in the industry 
Fees for a Publisher used by the A-list players
in the industry 
Fees for commercial promotional graphics 
Fees for photographer / videographer
Fees for post CD production (the volume printing of the CD) 

 

If I were to attempt this with out the help of these heavy hitters and their believing in the product, it would cost me well over $100.000. I am blessed to have this kind of opportunity with this kind of crew!

Please check out the pledge levels and perks on the right side of the page and consider donating what you can to join me in the creation of this album.  Simply click on the pledge level of your choice and you will be guided through the process. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!  If you are unable to donate, you can still help by spreading the word!  


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 

I am an artist in every sense of the word, from personal wall murals to international graphics and everything in between. I'm offering merchandise in the PERKS section with my art work on it just to spice it up!
